Ron Rege is an ultra talented cartoonist and Silver Lake resident. I only knew him through his art but would hear with increasing frequency about Lavender Diamond the Indie folk band he’s a member of. I feel like a tard but I finally heard them for the first time and know what all the people much more with it than I know... these guys are amazing!
Rebecca Stark has an absolutely amazing voice that on certain tracks like Garden Rose sounds a bit like Pats Kline (sacrilege I know) Judge for yourself visit their myspace page to hear their songs in full and you can also hear their songs and see Rege's art on the Lavender Diamond website.
FYI They have two shows coming up in L.A, at the Echo on July 18 and one at the Orange County Museum. Be sure to check them out while you can still see them in these small venues!
