Gabby Lang, better known by her stage name, Gabby La La, is a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist (including sitar, ukelele, accordion, theremin and toy piano), signed to Prawn Song Records. Her music is self described as "fun, unique, crazy (and) kooky." La La's eccentric debut album, "Be Careful What You Wish For...", is a collaboration with Les Claypool that though "peculiar... reveals gems of pop merriment."
