Synthpop is the subgenre of New Wave and Pop where the synthesizer is the dominant sound. Originated during the new wave – late 70s early 80s – and big time reemerged in the mid to late 2000s — which leads us to today’s show. We’re counting down the top 5 leading solo female singer/songwriter synthpop artists who use 80s-style synths and who embody a sort of futuristic, mythical, or generally outlandish fashion and performance style.

5.  Alison Goldfrapp AKA Goldfrapp

4.  Natasha Kahn AKA Bat for Lashes

3. Victoria Hesketh AKA Little Boots

2.  Julie Budet AKA Yelle

1.  Elly Jackson AKA La Roux

PS. Synthesizers are sexy.

June 06, 2009 By: mbutler Category: Blog, News, On Tour

Triple Cobra is about to embark on our first full-blown national tour. I saw this band open for The Trews at the Bottom of The Hill in San Francisco and was blown away. They play Hard Glam Rock with a couple of back up singers/dancers who dress super sexy and have tons of Rock attitude.
Note: Check out Athena Valbracht III. She is incredible to watch and one of the sexiest women I’ve ever seen on stage.
