Ladytron @ ABC, 26 Nov

Ladytron’s last Scottish show saw the band battling not only the elements and a crowd subdued by drizzle at the Hydro Connect festival, but also a mid-afternoon slot that didn’t exactly play to the electro-pop quartet’s strengths. See, Ladytron are vampiric - sunlight doesn’t befit their moody beats and synths, it robs them of the seductive darkness that nestles in their four excellent albums of krautrock-echoing electronica. The weather’s unlikely to be any better when they return for shows in Glasgow and Aberdeen - joined by the marvellously dreamy Asobi Seksu - but early winter sundown should suit their bewitching sound just fine.
