If you are into British electropop (or listen to American Top-40 radio), you have probably heard the song “Bulletproof” by La Roux. It’s become a bit of a dance anthem, simple but catchy.
Interestingly, understanding who La Roux is can be a study in itself. La Roux is not frontwoman-redhead Elly Jackson (even though the moniker might suggest it). La Roux is a duo–a band. However, the other half of La Roux, Ben Langmaid, doesn’t play live with the band; three other supporting musicians take that role. So…La Roux is a duo, but you won’t see them play together, because one half of La Roux goes on tour with three other musicians, while the other half stays home. Get it? 
Another anomaly: Elly Jackson’s roots are in folk music. Go figure.
Anyhow, today La Roux is releasing The Gold EP, a set of remixes and a live performance of Bulletproof. It’s only available by download. Also, La Roux has announced summer tour dates in the US, including a stop in Denver. Check it out below, and check out the video montage from Coachella.
