Ladyhawke - Back of The Van
Introducing Ladyhawke, and this, her first release "Back Of The Van" (produced by Michael De Francesco from Van She Tech) will be available on download only from her website and My Space from Tuesday 1st April 2008.
Ladyhawke is the alter ego of New Zealander Pip Brown. After spending time in Sydney in various bands, she has upped sticks even further still, and now resides in London.
As a music-obsessed child with very musical parents (step-father a drummer, mother a singer), she soaked up everything from the 70's and 80's. From Stevie Nicks and Joan Jett to Nirvana and Hole with Van Halen and Deep Purple in between.
The result is a refreshing blend of rock, dance and pop. As well as writing "Back Of The Van" Pip also plays the drums, guitar and synth on the track. It was the first song she wrote for Ladyhawke back in late 2006.
Ladyhawke is already claiming fans such as Courtney Love and electro-queen Peaches, who recently invited her to Berlin for a week of recording and hanging out.
The Single "Paris Is Burning" is to be released on Modular Records in June, and will be available on CD, 7" and download. Followed by the debut album in late Summer.

18 Apr 2008 Camden Crawl London

Sam, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly: ilikemusic because... Music is a special thing that is not like anything else in the world. You might argue that you can translate emotions through films and through books but anyone can make music, whether that be humming or singing along to the radio, it’s something that gives enjoyment and positivity to many people.
