ラ・ルー
In order to promote "La Roux", the band was the supporting act on Lily Allen's UK tour of March 2009. La Roux headlined the Samsung NME Radar Tour 2009 and played alongside Magistrates and Heartbreak. She was scheduled to perform at the Glastonbury, Reading, Oxegen and Leeds festivals as well as the Scala, Southend Chinnerys and Coventry Kasbah venues. In July and August 2009, La Roux toured North America. The eight-city tour included performances at Osheaga Festival, All Points West Music &amp; Arts Festival and Lollapalooza. On 23 July, the group performed on the late-night talk show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!." The group returned to North America for a seven-date tour in October. The group sold out her two Australian dates within minutes forcing an upgrade in venues. In November, the duo embarked on an eleven-date United Kingdom and Ireland tour. La Roux gained fifth position on the BBC Sound of 2009 poll. "The Guardian" website featured La Roux on her New Band of the Day column. "The Guardian" also featured La Roux as one of the "Best New Acts of 2009" in January of that year. The album has been nominated for a Mercury Prize.
