80s synth-pop pioneers, Heaven 17, and the rising star that that gave us the number one hit
Bulletproof, La Roux, joined forces last night (26 Jan) at the BBC's Maida Vale studios
for a one off 6 Music live combo.It was a perfectly pitched meeting of minds, memorable
hooks and complimentary voices as Glenn Gregory and Elly Jackson joined each other onstage to sing their hit singles Temptation and In For The Kill.

Each band demonstrated their well-crafted songs through tight and controlled, but passionate, performances, with light relief provided by humorous interludes of banter. Highlights included a powerful performance of Fascist Groove Thang, which was banned on the BBC upon release, and La Roux’s softer ballad, Cover My Eyes, made all the more heart-breaking by the warm harmonies of Heaven 17’s backing singers.

A unique bond between the two sides shone through as they bombarded the audience with a wall of sound from vintage synths and drum machines.Heaven 17’s Martyn Ware laughed as he told us he was actually playing the first synthesizer he ever brought, purchased in 1977 for £328 instead of a car. “I’ve still never learnt to drive,” he remarked.With the full line-up
of both bands amounting to nine people on stage, they finished with the chosen cover,
Terence Trent D’Arby’s 1988 track Sign Your Name, originally produced by Ware.
