La Roux: Touring America

*Press Release*

La Roux Announces Second Single, “In For The Kill”!
Fall Headlining Tour to Kick Off in November


Synth-pop sensation La Roux’s second single, “In For The Kill” is set to hit radio airwaves in the coming weeks. The track will be available as a digital remix EP set to hit on September 14 via Cherrytree/Interscope with a special edition vinyl to follow in late September. The “In For The Kill (Skream’s Let’s Get Ravey remix)” was recently featured on Entourage (8/7) and created such a frenzy with the show’s fans that the single spiked 600%+ that week. The stateside video for the track will shoot in the coming weeks and is set to be directed by LEGS (Florence and the Machine’s “Dog Days Are Over”, Goldfrapp’s “Alive”, etc).

La Roux has caught the attention of all the right ears with recent effervescent performances on Ellen, Good Morning America and most recently, The View and the band will appease and then rile up their legions of new fans with a national fall headlining tour. Set to kick off November 1st in Fort Lauderdale at the Culture Room, the tour will take La Roux across the country before wrapping in New York at Terminal 5 on November 17th.

What began in London’s burgeoning underground warehouse scene has since landed 22-year-old Elly Jackson, co-producer co-songwriter co-hort Ben Langmaid and their glittering self titled debut a long and impressive list of accolades and millions of fans internationally. Sizzling current single “Bulletproof” has become an instant summer hit climbing the Top 40 charts and making itself at home in the Top 10 with the track selling well over 1.5 million copies on our shores already.
