Formed in 1978 as Louisiana's LeRoux. The band was originally composed of Jeff Pollard (vocals, guitars), David Peters (drums, percussion, backing vocals), Leon Medica (bass, backing vocals), Tony Haselden (vocals, guitars), Rod Roddy (vocals, keyboards, synthesizers), and Bobby Campo (horns, percussion, violin, backing vocals).
Starting with their album Up, they dropped Louisiana's from their name and became simply LeRoux or Le Roux.
