Ladytron had a concert at Razzmatazz this Friday/Saturday. Turned out to be a less than great experience. The first flaw in my plan was that what I thought was the start time of the concert actually was the opening hour of Razzmatazz. So when I arrived at 2300 expecting to get in, I was told the doors would only only at 0100…so I ended walking around the block a couple of times before getting in. When I finally got into Razzmatazz, I found the concert wouldn’t start until about 0230. Fine and good, I got myself a beer and being early I managed to place myself close to the stage which I thought would be a good thing. Turned out I was wrong, the sound mixing was just horrible, I could barely hear the lyrics and the synth and guitar’s where on such high volume the sound got distortet every second minute. Ugh 
When will venues like this one learn that ‘more sound’ is not the equivalent of ‘good sound’.
A friend of mine went to see them in Valencia last Saturday night and told me the same thing about the sound mixing.
It’s a pity because I saw them last Tuesday in Corunha and it was a great concert. The sound was quite good (in a venue that has often problems with sound in concerts, I was a bit afraid about that).
The only real problem is that it was a bit short, I’d like it to last 30 or 40 minutes more so they could play more songs (they didn’t play some of my favourites).
I love that band!
See, it was better to be in the other rooms with the lolitas
Maybe it’s their techs? I saw them supporting Nine Inch Nails this year and had a similar experience.
i’d go see them if i could, i think they are teh awesome.
