The Ladybug Transistor is a Brooklyn-based indie pop group associated with The Elephant Six Collective.

Started in 1995 by Gary Olson, Edward Powers and Javier Villegas, the band quickly released "Marlborough Farms" on Park N' Ride records, adding and subtracting a couple members and going on an international tour. With Jeff Baron and Jennifer Baron added to the lineup, they released "Beverley Atonale" in 1997, this time on Merge Records. Powers left the band, and the remaining members, with San Fadyl and Sasha Bell of The Essex Green and solo act Finishing School, embarked on a United States tour.

With a more stable lineup, the band released "The Albemarle Sound" in 1999, as well as added violinist Julia Rydholm, also of The Essex Green, to the lineup. In 2001, "Argyle Heir" was released, and the band released a self-titled album in 2003 which was recorded in their own Marlborough Farms studio. In 2006 the band contributed heavily to the recording of Kevin Ayers' album The Unfairground which Gary Olson produced. In April 2006, Fadyl began fighting serious asthma attacks. On the 26th of April 2007, he passed away due to one such attack.

The band released their sixth album, Can't Wait Another Day, on June 5, 2007.
