La Roux are an English Electropop/Synthpop band made up of singer Eleanor Jackson (born 8 March 1988), and synth player, co-writer and co-producer Ben Langmaid. Jackson describes their respective roles as "very much a half and half sharing situation... not like a singer producer outfit", but also recognizing that it often can "look like a solo act". Their music is influenced by 1980s synthpop including Yazoo, Erasure, Depeche Mode, The Human League, Heaven 17, and Blancmange. The band's name originates from Jackson's red hair; she has said To me, it means “red-haired one” – and it does, vaguely. It’s just a male version of “red-haired one”, which I think is even cooler, because I’m well androgynous anyway. So it kind of makes sense. La Roux plans to wait until they finish touring, which will be well into 2010 before doing major work a second album. La Roux do not want to rush things and do not plan on bringing in a big name producer. Buy La Roux Tickets and Sell La Roux Tickets through YourTicketMarket.com.
