Oh Ladyhawke. Sweet name referencing odd eighties film jives nicely with a band that's a lone Aussie singer doing that eighties rock indie thing that's all the rage these days in certain circles and makes for synthy rocky fun. Ladyhawke's voice echoes in all the right places, the synths ping around at right angles in the background and the guitar rocks. There's a sweet rock break that will put in mind of the Knacks in all their "My Sharona" glory - the pause just before she pulls out the guitar and breaks it down is lovely, a perfect moment to take a breath and (if you're watching the vid) enjoy the fact that the Thelma and Louise car has gone all badass Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. This is the perfect song for driving away from live in a convertible or dancing at the end of a Brat Pack flick.
