Ooh la la



Probably the travesty of this week is that I missed the Goldfrapp show at Irving Plaza.

Allison Goldfrapp, lead singer of the duo hailing from England, is on top of her game with the release of their third album, Supernature. Channeling the fabulousness of Marilyn Monroe, the stage presence of Debbie Harry, and the sultriness of a Film Noir femme fatale, Goldfrapp certainly knows how to hold on to listeners.

The songs are bass heavy dance pieces that take you everywhere from "high in the sky" to the Red Light District in Amsterdam. Listen to "Oh La La" and "Fly Me Away" here.

Music for Robots is reporting that the show was the kind that heats up an audience collectively - and in a venue like Irving people were mesmerized the whole time.

I know Goldfrapp is opening up for Depeche Mode for at least part of their tour this summer...
