Lovin’ this track and the video has a crazy ’80s feel, for some reason it feels like shes time traveling to me, but she ain’t. The other thing that makes this video bad ass, the Toyota MR2 that she’s driving. How sick is that, when I was a kid I always dreamed of owning that car, no real particular reason, just thought it was dope. The duo, Elly and Ben, better known as LA ROUX is straight outta the UK and recently released their 12″ Quicksand. If you’re out in the UK check them out live as they are touring throughout and starting in March they will be joining Lily Allen on her UK Tour. For more info check out their MySpace page: www.myspace.com/larouxuk.
Thanks for your comments regarding my MR2 in La Roux’s Video, yep they are pretty special cars & it certainly fits in with the genre of Elly’s love of 80’s revival music, she really is going places !!, many thanks, Tony
Retro tune, Retro video, Retro car, Boss
love the song, but loving it even more since i saw the mr2 in the video, i knew what it was from the headlights i still cry about selling my one!!! i think for the next video you should get a bit of drifting!!!
I’m surprised you appreciate the 84-89 MR2!
Love the song, pure 80’s feel. Love the wedge. Top car, i’ve had two, both fantastic. First was in the eighties, Flock of Seagulls on cassette!!!!!!!!! Or The Promise by When in Rome!
