Pitchfork

Dress up rock and/or roll with as many synths as you can plug into the big board; it still takes some real goosin' to get folks to dance to it. Ladytron hit that sweet spot more than most as a live band, but they also like to move bodies using only the magic of spinning records.

In their nonstop quest to get you groovin', Mira Aroyo and Reuben Wu of Ladytron will embark on a DJ tour, starting tonight in Atlanta. The tour will feature the duo spinning what Wu refers to as "a mixture of rocky-dance, dancey-rock and several shades of in between." Rocky dance!

The band will also take their Ladytronics on the road as a fearsome foursome a number of times this summer, all the while dreaming up ways to compile the 20 songs they've recorded for the follow up to 2005's Witching Hour.
