Purple Monkey Lasers

Purple Monkey Lasers is the brain child of front-woman Lela Caldwell. Caldwell is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. The project began as a bedroom production- she wrote, recorded, and produced an album in her home. She performed out live for a few months as a solo act accompanied by her backing tracks. Although the crowds were small, people grew interested in her project. Her solo album drew the attention of Rockabilly drummer James Starr Griffis, and bassist Daniel Schnell. Purple Monkey Lasers' sound can be described as alternative rock/post-grunge with synth pop elements.
