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 and wraps in New York City on February 11 at Webster Hall.
Momentum is building quickly here in the United States for La Roux. They have been chosen by FUSE for the network’s new artist spotlight program, “Incoming!”, which showcases the best and brightest emerging artists, all of whom come with FUSE’s highest recommendation. Beginning on November 2nd the video for the lead single “Bulletproof” will be featured during music hours and tagged as part of the series.

Discover and Download includes a free download of the track “Tigerlily” off of La Roux’s self titled debut which hit via Cherrytree Records on September 29th.
21-year-old Elly Jackson and co-producer co-songwriter co-producer co-songwriter co-hort Ben Langmaid, who are La Roux, have made an impressive impact on UK’s music scene since joining forces two years ago. What began in London’s burgeoning underground warehouse scene has since landed the pair nominations for the highly coveted Mercury Prize, an MTV Europe Award as well as an MTVu Woodie stateside along with Grizzly Bear, Friendly Fires, and Passion pit for the Breaking Woodie. The duo can also boast hot singles on daytime radio and the upper echelons of the British charts. On our shores, first single “Bulletproof” shot to #1 on the Billboard Dance Charts going into Labor Day weekend. La Roux the album continues to make waves in the UK.

Raves for La Roux:
“Elly Jackson is the perfect London pop star of the moment…” - **** Rolling Stone
“Elly is no clichéd electro-minx. Her whipsmart modern take on the heartsore side of the 80’s is centered around her vulnerable voice and big-hearted love songs, drawing on a youthful infatuation with classic pop. It’s the raw humanity contrasted with the crispest, glassiest sounds and Langmaid’s bright beats that make La Roux as accessible as they are irresistible.” - NME
“With pop songs like “Quicksand” and the synth-heavy “In for the Kill,” it’s time for them to set the U.S. on fire.” - Bust
“something new and effortlessly winning.” Pop & Hiss – LA Times
