The Faint and Ladytron, two of the most popular electo-based bands of the the last 10 years, have decided to co-headline a tour this Spring. This is resplendent news for anyone who has seen The Faint live (amazing), loves the dark ambience of Ladytron's stage presence, or is simply looking for a quality show where you do not want to drink yourself into Betty Ford waiting for the cacophony of the opening band to cease.
Though each of their most recent full-length albums have been a bit of a let down, the positive note is that nearly a year has passed since. In this, we know that the initial push to play new material is over, and older material will be joyfully resurrected! I cannot bash either of the bands' latest LPs too much, but it barely takes half a listen to either Danse Macabre (The Faint) or Witching Hour (Ladytron), to feel the quality dichotomy.So, for all you big fans, they are coming to 9:30 Club April 14th. Get your tickets here.
For those of you who are unfamiliar, below is a fun playlist for your listening pleasure.

There are so many promising shows coming up.
I have seen The Faint twice now. The first was absolutely amazing. Being lost in a great thrashing crowd, and hearing the first chords of 'The Conductor' or 'Desperate Guys'.... It was a concert high that lasted for days.
I do have high hopes for Ladytron's performance. I have not had the opportunity to see a female fronted electro band perform live, and can barely wait to see it.
The combination seems blissfully dangerous.
The Faint is always a great show. Ladytron has delivered well once, and the second time was forgettable. Hopefully the former returns.
If nothing else it will be a chance to get sweaty and dance the night away.
