About La Roux
La Roux is Elly Jackson, a British synth-pop artist who emerged in 2009 with a sound that felt both retro and immediate. Her debut album was built on sharp, angular synth lines and Jackson's precise vocals—the kind of production where every element is deliberate and nothing feels wasted. In for the Kill became her calling card, all cold efficiency and 80s-inflected attitude. She followed that success with Trouble in Paradise, which showed her willing to push into different territory, but it was that first album that made her name. What set La Roux apart from the synth-pop revival happening around 2008-2010 was a refusal to be precious about it. Her songs had the melodic smarts to stick but the production clarity to cut through noise. She's kept a lower profile in recent years, but the appeal of her best work remains straightforward: perfectly built pop songs delivered with the kind of restraint that makes them feel more powerful.
La Roux's sets are controlled and precise—the opposite of loose jamming. Crowds are there for the songs, and Jackson delivers them cleanly, often with minimal between-song banter. The energy is focused rather than wild, suited to people who actually want to hear the music clearly.
Known for In for the Kill, Bulletproof, Kiss and Not Tell, Fascination, White Noise

Live Music in Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City's electronic and synth-pop scene has grown quietly over the past decade, with venues like The Depot and The Complex hosting everything from indie synthwave to proper dance acts. The city's DIY ethos means there's room for both underground producers and established acts like La Roux. It's not LA or Brooklyn, but there's genuine interest in artists who don't need a full band to command a room.
Salt Lake City road trip to see La Roux?
Stay in the Avenues neighborhood—tree-lined streets with actual character, close enough to downtown but removed from the noise. For dinner, Lazy Dog in Sugar House serves exceptional Colorado lamb and maintains a wine list that doesn't insult your intelligence. Spend an afternoon at the Natural History Museum of Utah in Red Butte Canyon; the building itself is architecturally stunning and the collection gives real context to the landscape you're actually standing in. The city's proximity to actual mountains matters when you've got downtime.
