Ladyhawke in Sydney

under Travel

Sydney was the first British colony in Australia, and it’s been attracting all sorts of interesting people for centuries.  The past few decades have seen Sydney grow by leaps and bounds to become a major world center for art, culture, finance, and almost everything in between.  It’s extremely livable, with all sorts of fantastic attractions, and a local scene that is really stupendous.  There’s something to do here at all hours of the day, driven by a population that is intensely creative, and the energy is very contagious.  This all makes it a magnificent place for visitors, and it’s interesting pretty much all the time.  There are also plenty of ways to get away from the noise and enjoy nature.

For those used to traveling in luxury, Sydney hotel accommodations are a splendid choice.  They allow for a view of the city that’s close to where the action is, but with a constant center where you can return every night and rejuvenate for the next adventure.  There’s an amazing history here, with a long story of human cultures that have been locals for thousands of years.  There is also a remarkably contemporary sensibility, one that is local and global, and it’s possible to get a sense of the trends that are coming down the road in terms of music and other cultural forms.  It’s no wonder, then, that celebrities like Ladyhawke decide to make this their home base for awhile.

Pip Browne, aka Ladyhawke, decided to move here from New Zealand after issues with her band Two Lane Blacktop.  It could be read as an impulsive move, but she’s had a lot of exposure here in Sydney, and she certainly made a good decision.  This is a great place for a pop singer with a drive that overpowers any sense of irony in playing her unique brand of synth-driven rock, with a distinctively 80s sensibility.  She has a witchiness that meets Stevie Nicks on her best days, and a generous spirit for a video game aesthetic that is a real pleasure to watch, and the music is inescapably catchy.
