SXSW 2009: Interview with Little Boots (video)

Wednesday, Apr 22, 2009
by Robin Cook

The first Little Boots (Caligula to his contemporaries) was a Roman emperor infamous for his sadism, who inspired a really bad 1980 film starring Malcolm MacDowell and Helen Mirren. It’s taken two millenia, but finally another Little Boots has come along to redeem the name. Also known as Victoria Hesketh, she creates elegant and oh-so-infectious electro-pop. Her debut album is still in the works, but meanwhile, you can download her new album, Arecibo, or check out her MySpace page.

Victoria Hesketh may be new in town, but she still manages to blow her competition out of the water. Hands down.
