Chromeo Record Song With La Roux, Announce Huge 2011 UK Gig

November 10, 2010

Chromeo have collaborated with La Roux's Elly Jackson for their forthcoming single, 'Hot Mess'.

The song is taken from the electro duo's recent album 'Business Casual', but the original version did not include Jackson's vocals.

The single is due to be released on January 17 along with a video featuring the guest singer.

Meanwhile, Chromeo have announced details of a one-off gig at Brixton Academy in London on April 29, 2011.

The band are already scheduled to play sold-out gigs in London on Friday (November 12) and Manchester on Saturday (13).
