La Roux The Twelves (live) @ Arcade Fridays

oão Miguel and Luciano Oliveira have made big waves in their five years of collaborating as The Twelves. The Brazilian duo’s unofficial 2007 remix of M.I.A.’s “Boyz” led to legit offers to rework artists including Metric, Yelle, La Roux and Groove Armada. More recently, the pair completely reimagined both Fever Ray’s “Seven” and Noah and the Whale’s “Blue Skies,” lending a cheery, keyboard-drenched nü-disco approach to both. As we await The Twelves’ long-promised debut album, they’ve set out on an extensive live tour, bringing keyboards, drum machines and turntables to the stage.Buy La Roux Tickets - La Roux Tickets - La Roux Tickets For United Kingdom 2010 Concerts & Sell La Roux Tickets through YourTicketMarket.com.

Of course, it’s not Goldfrapp’s fault they don’t seem unique now; if imitation is flattery

Of course, it’s not Goldfrapp’s fault they don’t seem unique now; if imitation is flattery, there are a lot of young females flattering the shit out of Alison. ‘Head First’, enjoyable though much of it is, is disappointingly determined to return the favour. .Buy La Roux Tickets - La Roux Tickets - La Roux Tickets For United Kingdom 2010 Concerts & Sell La Roux Tickets through YourTicketMarket.com.

Goldfrapp has characterised ‘Head First’ as her ‘up’ album, but that’s misleading

Goldfrapp has characterised ‘Head First’ as her ‘up’ album, but that’s misleading. Certainly, the songs we’ve mentioned and ‘I Wanna Life’ (which should have a video of a teenage girl post-argument with Mum catching a Greyhound bus to the nearest Big City) are bouyant, free-spirited affairs, but there’s darkness on here too. Sadly, it isn’t always pulled off with the same aplomb; ‘Shiny And Warm’ revisits the electronic-chanteuse persona of ‘Strict Machine’ and ‘Train’, but it feels sexed-down and safe, while downbeat ‘Hunt’ could use big-chorus power-ballad tastelessness to lift it out of its meandering torpor. Most damning of all is ‘Voicething’, a five-minute synth abstraction that sounds like Enya braying out a mating call and which, on a record just nine songs long, there really shouldn’t have been space for..Buy La Roux Tickets - La Roux Tickets - La Roux Tickets For United Kingdom 2010 Concerts & Sell La Roux Tickets through YourTicketMarket.com.

Ben Langmaid is the second half of La Roux, who partakes in all live performances with the band. Langmaid, a London-based producer and composer has been involved with various other music projects in the past. He has a close association with Rollo Armstrong of Faithless; the two musicians went to the same school and later collaborated as Huff & Puff in the mid 90s, releasing the house single 'Help Me Make It' in 1996. Langmaid also recorded as Atomic and was one half of Huff & Herb before contributing as a songwriter to indie band Kubb's debut album 'Mother', released in 2005. This project was again linked to Rollo Armstrong; Kubb's frontman Harry Collier was introduced to Langmaid after Collier sang Happy Birthday to Armstrong whilst working as a waiter in a North London organic cafe. Langmaid turned down the offer of a permanent position in Kubb.Get your tickets of all your favorite events at Ticket Market like La Roux Concert Tickets.

Elly Jackson

Elly Jackson's first interest in music revolved around folk music. She was particularly interested in Carole King and Nick Drake whom she discovered in her parents' record collection. (Her mother is Trudie Goodwin, who rose to fame playing June Ackland on long-running police series The Bill.) Jackson's early musical material consisted of folk ditties informed by Joni Mitchell. Her taste in music changed during her mid-teens when she became involved in the melodic death-metal scene.
Jackson has been linked to a pop music trend that features androgynous twenty-something women with a strong individualistic attitude. She has cited musicians David Bowie, Madonna, Max Cavalera, Prince , The Knifeand actor David Schwimmer as her influences. She co-designs her own clothing with her pet dog, Snappy. Jackson is unhappy with what she perceives as a "normality" fashion trend among a majority of today's musical acts. Her clothing and hair style which has been compared to the 1980s group Flock of Seagulls is being imitated by young men in London.
Jackson has been critical of other musicians. She feels that a culture of positivity has lowered standards. Reacting to the polarization her remarks have caused, Jackson noted that she makes a distinction between a person's work and how they are as a person.Get your tickets of all your favorite events at Ticket Market like La Roux Concert Tickets.

La Roux Intro

La Roux is an English electropop duo 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, Depeche Mode, The Human League, Heaven 17, and Blancmange. The band's name originates from Jackson's red hair and French heritage; 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. Get your tickets of all your favorite events at Ticket Market like La Roux Concert Tickets.
