La Roux! I sorta get it.

long story short or to sum it up... la roux is kinda weird. the kinda weird that brings different sorts of other weirdos together.

was able to catch her sold out LAX show this eve. ive been hearing about this red head for months now. maybe 6 months ago i gave her a listen, and just did not get it. at all.

but over time the buzz keeps building and i keep hearing more people talk about this young woman.

i had to check her live show out.


thanks to CP & CT i saw what was a john huges 1980s film meets todays nu-pop uk rave scene embodied in one woman on stage. actually, at one point i thought it was ducky on stage dancing for me.

when the first song started and la roux began to shimmy and shake i have to say i kinda laughed. i was like is this a joke? really???? and yet the crowd was so incredibly into it! i thought i had lost my mind, like is there something with all of them or is it me???

by mid way i found myself tapping my toes.

by the end of the short set. i was won over. la roux's geeky persona and awkward stage presence brings some alien to the table. she is definitely a pop star in the making but for this 21st century audience that i feel i am already too old for.

all in all.. she will definitely rise the ranks of popularity. if they crowd was any indication tonight, as they were jumping for joy and screaming out every lyric to every song.

la roux i believe isn't going anywhere. for awhile at least.
