The Tuna Helpers / Lazer / White Grrrl

The world of The Tuna Helpers is an eerie place, the kind of fantastical dreamland that would make Tim Burton feel at home. The Austin, TX-based trio plays rich, orchestral Gothic pop with punk rock attitude; their highly dramatic shows include a puppet theater with singing dolls, ornate costumes and a keyboardist who often communicates lyrics via sign language. The Tuna Helpers moniker is both a playful reference to sea creatures (who frequently served as subject matter for their first album The Suspicious Fish) and as an intentional double entendre for the band members, who are very active in the gay and lesbian community.
