Biography

Brainy mechanical engineers with a juvenile wit, D.I.Y. punk rock approach, and strong sense of artistic irony, Electric Laser People take on old-school rap style in a whimsical manner by draping absurd lyrics over minimal electronic sound effects and guitar crunches, like a sonic merging of Ratatat and Licensed to Ill. Frontman/bassist Dan Paluska, guitarist Grant Kristofek, and drummer Clark Kemp met in MIT grad school around the turn of the millennium. Paluska, also known under the radio moniker of Six Million Dollar Dan, designed and built a basement recording studio deemed "Flinstonia" due to its cave-like interior in north Cambridge that acted as a practice space for several musical incarnations of the three scholars' bands (including Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, Stentorian Effluvium, and the Sneaks).
