La Roux

While La Roux may appear to be a solo act, it is actually a brilliant duo reigning from the land of English breakfast, double-deckers, and Green Street Hooligans-- England, of course! Elly Jackson (singer, keyboarder, co-writer, and co-producer) and Ben Langmaid (co-writer and co-producer) joined their magical music forces in 2006, and have been pumping out electropop and synthpop jams ever since! They are supported by Mikey Norris on the keyboard, Mickey O'Brien on keyboards and backing vocals, and William Bowerman on the drums. The name "La Roux" came from combining the French terms "le roux" (meaning masculine) and "la rousse" (meaning feminine), and represents Jackson's red hair and tomboy appearance. She considers herself to be androgynous, and proudly takes on and rocks the role of the "red-haired one." La Roux recently (as of February 2011) won a Grammy Award for the Best Electronic/Dance Album, and has been nothing short of amazing with each song that is released. Jackson's voice is so pure, and her look so fresh, making La Roux a must-see for this festival weekend! La Roux will be performing at Coachella on Sunday, April 15th and 22nd.
