The EnableRs on Late Night

The EnableRs ~ “Lo” Laura Apoliona and Scott Jones

On Wednesday February 29, 2012, 8pm-11pm/PST on Swoop’s World Late Night The EnableRs join us in studio. The last time Lo and Scott dropped by they were The Dregs of Pele. Now as The EnableRs they return to catch us up on what’s happening with them and their music. After The EnableRs we’ll have our Brewskis beer tasting segment followed by our take on all topics, as well as any interesting news of the day. Tune in at Swoopsworld.com.
The EnableRs (formerly known as The Dregs of Pele) are a dynamic Rock/Alternative band sprung from the San Fernando Valley. Amazing song stylings and vocals of singer/songwriter “Lo” Laura Apoliona and guitar player and songwriter, Scott Jones, drive the band.

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. She studied in classical voice, and 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”, The EnableRs 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.

After our interview with The EnableRs, we’ll be up to all of our usual fun including “Brewskis” Beer Tasting sponsored by DrinksWinesSpirits.com, sports talk, rants and more.

This week on “Brewskis” Beer Tasting sponsored by DrinksWinesSpirits, we’ll taste Brother Benedict’s Bock by Granite City Brewery Located in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.
