ladyhawk v ladyhawke

I'd been seeing Ladyhawk all over The Fader for their Barfing All Over Europe tour diary (part 1, 2, 3, & 4) and was perplexed as to why I couldn't figure out where the girl was. The band's "Top 10 Songs For Rainy Sundays in Vancouver" mixtape got some praise on the aforementioned webpage and it was then that I realized I had been mistaking them this whole time for Ladyhawke, who is responsible for the irresistible "Paris is Burning" single that got major love from Cut Copy earlier this year. Whoops. A lack of investigative curiosity led me to numerous occasions of confusion, all of which could have easily been avoided had I enough sense to simply clicked a hyperlink. Now it's my obligation to set the record straight. 

Ladyhawk is a four piece band from neighboring Vancouver, Canada who make spirited rock 'n roll and don't seem the least bit afraid of indulging in common debauchery. Their solid LP Shots is out now on Jagjaguwar. 

Although I'm sure she enjoys her fair share of debauchery, Ladyhawke is a New Zealand pop princess who consists of equal parts Annie and Kylie. As already stated, her epic single "Paris is Burning" got an incredible facelift this summer when fellow Oceanians Cut Copy gave it a severe disco tang. It seems as if her album is out already in the UK, though not in the States. Luckily for us, there are a whole host of great remixes floating around the internet. You know the drill.
