The salient points


  • La Roux is Elly Jackson and Ben Langmaid, but Elly's the only one who'll be seen in press and pictures and that sort of thing.

  • La Roux were fifth in the BBC Sound of 2009 poll, behind Little Boots and Empire Of The Sun.'Bulletproof' was their first and so far only Number One, but 'In For The Kill' is arguably their most well-known track.

  • Skream did a dubstep remix of it, which was pretty on trend in 2009.

  • Elly's Mum played Sergeant June Ackland in The Bill, a fact you probably know but one which bears repeating.

  • Elly has a habit of being 'provocative' (a bit moany) in interviews but she is allowed to do that as she is A Very Good Popstar.
