Ladyhawke

Ladyhawke is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of The Clash, Cyndi Lauper, Pat Benatar, Kim Wilde and Annie. Those roots explain a lot about how Ladyhawke arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Little Boots, Dragonette, New Young Pony Club, The Presets and La Roux, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into The Charlatans, The Horrors, Klaxons, Tiësto and Crooked Colours, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 45 connections around Ladyhawke, reaching back through The Clash and forward to The Charlatans.
