Xfm Meets Ladytron

added 20 May 2008 at 12.40

Xfm caught up with electro wonders Ladytron at their recent gig at the Astoria to chat about the new album, touring and their crazy fans.

Keyboardist and singer Mira Aroyo and songwriter/producer Daniel Hunt of Ladytron cosied up with Xfm to fill us in on what they've been up to recently.

With new album Velocifero already available to download before the album was released, Ladytron told us how they felt about the free downloads and the fans already knowing the songs before the band had toured them.

The band also chatted to us about which festivals they will be playing this year and Mira Aroyo's confusion with Led Zepplin.
