Lavender Diamond, fronted by the ethereal voiced, Becky Stark, has it's origins in Stark's work in a play Birdsongs of the Bauharoque, as the character Lavendar Diamond. It was created and written by puppeteer Xander Marroher who was inspired by the work of artist Paul Laffoley. She produced a CD of her songs to accompany the play.
Feeling her songs deserved to be taken more seriously, she moved to Los Angeles and met up with other band members, guitarist Jeff Rosenberg; pianist Steve Gregoropoulos and drummer Ron Rege, Jr.
In 2005 they released an EP, The Cavalry of Light, and a split 7" with Queens of Sheeba. Interest grew in the band after performances at ArthurFest and South by Southwest and touring with the Decemberists, eventually leading to a full record deal.
Here Comes One is off their first release, 2007's Imagine Our Love.
