Ladyhawke - ‘Back Of The Van’

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 6 or above) is required to play this audio clip. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

I’ve been hunting down this song for ages and finally got it from a friend who emailed it to me a few days ago. It’s one of the catchiest tune I’ve heard in ages and though it is shamelessly retro, it has a timeless mood and melody to it that I know you will enjoy. As mentioned previously Ladyhawke aka Pip is from Sydney and she plays guitar for Teenager. Rumours are she has a deal in the works with a major and is currently going round the world on a writing trip…whatever that means.

  1. streetparty used to play with one quite frequently a few months a go.


  2. Wow, that sound is phenomenal. She seems to take that retro sound, utilized by groups like Van She, to the extreme — ie. she is pure retro. I love it.

    Not to be confused with Ladyhawk of course - do I sense another spurious name-change in the not to distant future a la The Vendettas or Shaky Hands?

    This has to be one of the most widely circulated demos I have heard of in recent years- so many people have it but apparently she only ever gave out about 6 copies!
    Shes a New Zealand girl, based in Sydney. Used to play lead guitar in a Wellington garage/classic heavy rock style band called Two Lane Blacktop who were doing well, had toured Australia and USA and were on the eve of a second US tour when they ‘imploded’. They have a release on Infidelity in Australia.

    Two Lane Blacktop sucked, but Teenager are pretty good!


  5. That’s right upon further digging Pip Brown turns out to be quite the experienced touring musician. I really am hoping she does something with this Ladyhawke project more so than the Teenager stuff. This song is just a killer.


  6. WHATUP KIDDDDDS
