I have 'Ladyhawke' on DVD, Rutger Hauer, Matthew Broderick - good stuff ;)

Sorry I know I am being annoying, but that is what I thought of when you asked your question.

I love Ladyhawke, I saw her live once at Canberra and again at the Big Day Out in 2010 after the release of her first album. Her second album is due out soon.

Ladyhawk was a good movie. But I've never heard of this singer. I don't think she gets much airplay in the States.

'Paris is Burning' Isn't bad. Sounds like Bananarama

I also thought of the movie... A classic.. Beautiful story...

****SPOILERS ALERT*****



Yet while watching it, I kept thinking that the sun and the moon can be seen together without needing an eclipse...

I have her YouTube channel bookmarked and her CD in my car. She has a very 80s pop/new-wavish sound. Very cool.

"The uploader has not made this video available in your country."

Well, that explains why she isn't getting airplay here. Although it's weird because I live in the SAME COUNTRY the video is hosted in. I almost feel like getting her album on bit torrent just for spite.

Or, you could just look at the next uploaded video, it probably does work in your country.

But whatev. it's probably not worth the effort, it's only okay.

I've heard of her. The last aspie rock/pop star I'd heard of was Craig Nichols from The Vines. Unfortunately, from what I've heard of them, I find them totally unlistenable.
I much prefer Ladyhawke. Paris is Burning is ok, but My Delirium and Back of the Van are much better, IMHO.
