LA ROUX @ FUZZ CLUB, SHEFFIELD, 29/1, £2 adv.
Fuzz Club plays host to one of 2009's most hotly tipped acts:
LA ROUX
Synth pop duo who are about to take the musical world by storm.
Elly Jackson is only 20 but her fervent love of all things 80s has given rise to the sort of infectious, Prince-esque pop standards she will only become synonymous with in time.
LA ROUX (The Red Haired One) came 5th on the BBC's Sound of 2009 list (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7787555.stm) and has been featured in the likes of Dazed and Confused (http://www.isolationist.co.uk/2008/11/la-roux/), the Guardian, Popjustice (http://www.popjustice.com/index.php?...=2956&Itemid=9).
Her frankly feet-shiftingly marvellous single "Quicksand" was released by French super label Kitsune and a tour with Lily Allen in March (make of that what you will) underlines La Roux as one of the most exciting young things to pop out of Britain's pop womb in recent memory.
“the coolest voice to come out of UK club….’Let’s Dance’ era Bowie meets The Knife”… NME
All for the insanely affordable price of £2. TWO POUNDS! Have that at you, Credit Crunch!
Plus indie-pop disco from BADABING in Fuzz and balls to the wall rock from JIMM in Bleach (NB: Not everyone need have balls to enjoy it).
All down the Stude's Une (Shef Uni Student's Union), 29th Jan.
