Dregs of Pele on Swoop’s World Late Night

Dregs of Pele

On Wednesday June 15, 2011, 8pm-11pm/PST on Swoop’s World Late Night our guest is the Dregs of Pele. Then we’re taking on all topics, as well as any other news of the day. Tune in at Swoopsworld.com.

Dregs of Pele (formerly known as The EnableRxs) are a dynamic Rock/Alternative band sprung from the San Fernando Valley grid. The core of Dregs of Pele is shared by singer/songwriter “Lo” Laura Apoliona and guitar player and writer, Scott Jones.

Lo, who has been singing since she was four years old, has written extraordinary melodies such as “A Drinking Song” and “The Prisoner’s Wife” on her debut “Lo” released in 2004. Studied in classical voice, she spent the majority of the 1990’s fronting rock bands Fine Rum Punch and Zen Belt in most major venues on the Sunset Strip and a smattering of dives throughout Hollywood, honing her craft and exposing her edges.

Scott started his musical career playing lead guitar and singing in several rock bands that played almost everywhere in L.A. from the nearest local dive to the Bonaventure Hotel. His classically influenced, fiery, and tasteful style has been compared to Page and Clapton which goes hand in hand with his magnetic stage presence and Plant peppered voice.

Recovering from the business of music, both had independently taken a “break” from the music scene only to meet in the summer of 2010. Sharing the stories of bands and songs loved and lost led them to an impromptu jam in a strip mall stairwell. After wailing their now signature cover, “Babe, I’m Gonna Leave You”, Dregs of Pele were born. Scott’s sweetly demented chord structures and strategic bold riffs with Lo’s haunting and powerful voice and disturbing prose are this band’s apocalyptic vulnerability and melodic strength. Dregs of Pele is a rock band for the ceaselessly romantic and hellbound, sinner and saint alike. Dregs of Pele are currently recording their first album.
