This news has been out for a hot minute, and looking back through my drafts, realized I had this ready to go, but never actually hit that magic "publish" button. So here we go. La Roux has announced winter tour dates throughout the US and Canada, and we're planning on not missing the act this time around.Hot off the heels of a sold-out stateside tour, South London synth-pop sensation La Roux ha...

Hot off the heels of a sold-out stateside tour, South London synth-pop sensation La Roux have just announced winter tour dates where they’ll perform tracks from their just released, self-titled debut referred to by the New York Times as “…dizzying fun.” The tour kicks off in Boston on January 31 at the Paradise Rock Club [...]
One of my favorite tracks from one of my favorite albums of 2009, La Roux's "I'm Not Your Toy" song + video is a perfect example of the duo's mastering of the 80s synth pop sound and attitude --this time with a less moody, more fun vibe. Singer/synth player Elly Jackson, with her trademark Flock of Seagulls-lite cockatoo hairstyle, emerges from a pool like an androgynous siren set on bewitchin...

The fact that I’m not the biggest pop fan at AWmusic should be reason enough for me to not speak my mind on La Roux’s new album, but the fact that no one has done it yet speaks volumes itself.So far, La Roux have emerged unscathed from comparisons to Lady Gaga and Little Boots, and [...]No related posts. Sorry.
I’ve seen a lot of remixes of this song floating around, but they are almost invariably of very poor quality, both in bitrate and production. These are a couple of tracks that, given the right crowd, I would definitely drop. When I first heard this song I thought to myself “how could you possibly go [...]
Let's just say if this had been the original I would be a much bigger La Roux fan...La Roux - Bulletproof (Fred Falke Remix) (ALT) [Most Fancied]Lapse has also recently done a nice remix of the track as well as adding his touch to Felix Da Housecat's smash single "We All Wanna Be Prince". Two very tasty little remixes.La Roux - Bulletproof (Lapse Remix) (ALT)Felix Da Housecat - We All Wanna Be Pri
The familiar synth motif of In For The Kill provides a comfortingly predictable opening to the debut album from the electro-pop London duo La Roux, consisting of singer and songwriter Elly Jackson and her accomplice, producer and composer Ben Langmaid. Following a brief spell of misfortune, including the flump of first single Quicksand in November [...]
There is no doubt La Roux plans to go in for the kill when she performs, but on Wednesday night at Café Du Nord she left the stage taking the hearts of just a few fans. With a brief set lasting only forty minutes long, the fans only got a taste. It was a "wam-bam-thank-you-mam" performance that while enjoyable in its brevity, appeared to be routine. The twenty year old star's voice is impeccabl..
Wipe your feet on the welcome mat, let me hang up your coat, so you can throw your arms open for a great big Recommender hug. Welcome home to all your new music needs. Now kick back and try these three on for size… LA ROUX She hasn't quite produced enough yet to warrant getting onto our upcoming post about the 'Scene Queens', where [...]
Describing herself as the "falsetto in the ghetto", UK-based Elly Jackson is the 20 year-old female front of La Roux . Elly's got a honeyed voice that could possibly be sandwiched in between Ladyhawke and CSS . La Roux's just released her first single, "Quicksand" on the French imprint Kitsune and the track is full of electro flavor. Something I can't wait to hear more of. Download | La...
Here's the video for La Roux's debut single "Quicksand". I don't know much about La Roux, but she's kind of a guilty pleasure for me. Based on many factors, some which probably shouldn't come in to play (what the fuck is up with her hair?, she reminds me of Peter Pan), this doesn't seem like something I should enjoy. But I do. I like "Fascination" better than "Quicksand". "Quicksand" sounds ...
Ellie Jackson AKA La Roux and her amazing synthy electropop track "Quicksand" gets a remix treatment from Belgian producer Beni fame who turns it into a full blown electro banger, just listen to that crunchy bass that drops around the 1 minute mark. The single will be released on December 15th by premier French label [...]
