Lcd Soundsystem Storm Ibiza Rocks!
19 August 2010
LCD Soundsystem made it a night to remember with a momentous Ibiza Rocks performance on Tuesday.
Looking ultra-Balearic in his shades and dapper white ensemble, James Murphy and his band mesmerised the Ibiza Rocks Hotel faithful with a hit-packed set and spectacular light show.
Opening their epic set with the pummelling electro anthem 'Us & Them', Murphy and co. went on to unleash an array of classics from their hit arsenal including 'Daft Punk is Playing at My House' and 'All My Friends' alongside new favourites 'Drunk Girls' and 'I Can Change'.
The night built up to a euphoric climax with a powerful reworking of 'New York I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down' which featured an acapella LCD rendition of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' modern pop classic 'New York State Of Mind' and left the capacity crowd baying for more.
It was LCD Soundsystem's second performance at Ibiza Rocks and given James Murphy's recent hints that the band's current incarnation may be going their separate ways, we're certainly hoping the triumphant set won't be their last.
Earlier on, Leeds' prodigal sons The Sunshine Underground warmed up the crowd nicely with a boisterous show that called on material from their two acclaimed albums 'Raise The Alarm' and 'Nobody's Coming To Save You'.
Next week it's the turn of the mighty Florence & The Machine with support from New York's latest excellent indie export The Drums and DJ extraordinaire Kissy Sellout.
Roll on Tuesday...
