Lazers in the Jungle, or LITJ, as the kids call them, coalesced from the varied reaches of Deer Isle, Orland, Ellsworth and Hancock Maine.
LITJ weaves threads of intricate percussive polyrhythms with flavors of zydeco and latin funk, 80’s-style synth, British funk-rock guitar and background vocals, and a sultry three-piece horn section. Featuring the sizzling lead vocals from Central Maine Idol runner-up Jya Marie.

Hailing from the stalwart, working class village of West Buxton, Lolabelle was born from a frenzy of creative forces as unapologetic 90’s nostalgist Caroline Homer (vocals/guitar) linked up with notorious facebook blowhard Kurt Fedora (bass), a veteran of the grunge rock scene. Along with local disgruntled educator Gene Gill (drums), the band of ne'er do wells left the backyard and descended into the basement to create their signature sound, combining heavy rock riffs with emotion-driven lyrics that might reveal just a little too much. The group is stoked to have Stephen Bennett, mastermind behind the band God’s Furniture and outsider film fest Shit In the Dirt, join the crew on guitar. Lolabelle plans to continue touring this summer and record their first album before the end of 2025. Booking/inquiries: lolabelleband@gmail.com
