roughbloke Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Announced a one off London show for 1st July. Can we expect to see her on the line up somewhere? I'm not a fan but have seen some people on here mentioned they like her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morse Code Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I'm not sure you'll find a lot of support for her on here. I'm not normally one for slating acts as I firmly believe in live and let live but her performance on the Other Stage in 2010 was the single worst performance I have ever heard at Glastonbury, before or since..... ....I say heard because I daren't look back as I sprinted as fast as my legs would carry me away from the infernal sound that was emanating from the stage for fear I may be turned in to a pillar of salt!

zero000 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 New song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOTEx7p-IkM Thought she was pretty good fun on the OS in 2010, though I don't think I'd pay to go and see her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoils Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 About bleeding time the new record is ready, only been waiting for it for 5 years. Can't imagine they'll be playing anywhere (announced) this year, more's the pity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSeventhOne Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hope she doesn't go the way of Little Boots and drop off the radar completely if the new one isn't a hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynewdk Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I think that Keiser singer sounds a bit like La Roux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTom Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Hope she doesn't go the way of Little Boots and drop off the radar completely if the new one isn't a hit. *them and thats Little Boot's own thought for getting a bit self indulgent with her discotheque show thing, instead of using the same setup she had for her first album (Quite liked the 2nd album, but the show turned from something decent into proper shit). La Roux song, meh Edited May 13, 2014 by LondonTom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadpheasant Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Looking forward to seeing La Roux, listened to Sexotheque off the new album and loving how ridiculously catchy it is. Can imagine La Roux playing before Mark Ronson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 On the Other Stage Friday afternoon? reckon she'll be in JP myself but that's just a guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatyeti24 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 what went wrong with La Roux? i remember her/their debut at Glasto, she was so popular then. then five years out and despite great reviews, the album bombed and nobody seemed to care. was she just gone too long?

TheBurns Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Its a shame, I really like the new album. I'd like to see her on an early outdoor slot but most seem to think JP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash011 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Was a huge fan when she put the first album out, really looking forward to seeing her. But I do agree that she waited for too long for the album, had a lot of momentum going but just let it die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotdy Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I think that Keiser singer sounds a bit like La Roux But Keiser can sing... and dance... and doesn't think she is a megastar off the back of one single. Had the misfortune of walking past the other when she was on. Awful screech, awful attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 She's no superstar in waiting, but there are some surprisingly decent tunes on that second album. Kiss And Not Tell is a belter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FakeEmpire Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Saw her on the Other Stage in 2010 and thought it was ropey vocally and musically. Saw her in Birmingham in November and it was absolutely superb - far improved vocals, excellent band and a banging setlist from start to finish (largely as a result of that surprisingly excellent second album). I think she'll be heading for high up on the JP or The Park this year and I'd seriously recommend it for anyone who wants a dance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second album had definitely helped things, really good fun pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
**claire** Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I've not listened to her new album as I was put off her when I was given free tickets to see her at a gig in Kentish Town to launch her debut & thought she was appalling live. Perhaps she's improved with practice?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadimmock Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I saw her on the NME Radar tour in 2009. Absolutely awful, genuinely looked like a rabbit caught in headlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willutalk Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Absolutely adore La Roux so will definitely show my face. Have always had a place for her and her music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
