La Roux

La Roux are an English electropop and synthpop duo made up of singer Eleanor Jackson and synthesizer 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
Jackson has been linked to a pop music trend that features androgynous twenty-something women with a strong individualistic attitude
Ben Langmaid is the second half of La Roux but he doesn't participate in any live performances with the band
There are three other Supporting band members Michael Norris (Keyboards and computers), Mickey O'Brien (Keyboards and backing vocals) and William Bowerman (Drums)
