Pela

Long based in Brooklyn, New York but hailing from the hinterlands of New York state and California, Pela are 4 working class artists who have struggled nobly to pursue their dream of making music, be it busking in the subways of New York and Europe, selling neckties in Times Square, tending dive bars, catering food, carpentry, or playing polka at Croatian weddings. Along the way, various members have studied jazz, toured Europe with other bands, lived in Africa, Australia, and Europe, learned other languages, consumed a lot of beer and cigarettes, had some teeth knocked out and knocked out a few of their own.

Pela has toured ambitiously in America over the past 3 years, playing in any room that would have them, and rewarding audiences with a passionate, and occasionally explosive, live show.
