Beaucoup de Bella

Bella is a small Vancouver band that I discovered browsing the listening booths at Zulu (as usual).

From left to right the band is:

Matt(Saskatoon)- guitar/keys/vocals
Charla(Vancouver)- bass/keys/vocals
Cameron(Saskatoon)- guitar/keys/vocals
Tiffany(San Francisco)- drums/bass/vocals

Their toe tapping indie-pop is as beautiful as it is catchy, and nearly impossible not to love! They feature diverse singing talents, roaming synth-driven riffs, strong rhythm and soaring guitar solos.... and that's just in one song, Go!

Reviews: I had to dig a little deeper to find reviews for this band ;)
Chart Attack Report Card's Steve English - 92/100 "Superwicked boy-girl-boy-girl synth-pop foursome who simply can't sit still.If their breezy indie-pop doesn't make you wanna move your feet, consult a physician immediately: you may indeed be paralyzed. Energetic and loads of fun, they practically grabbed you by the collar and screamed "LOVE US, DAMMIT!" into your face for a half-hour. Then, they all did The Robot. Imagine a joyous collision of the B-52s, Martha & The Muffins and Of Montreal. Now imagine it with wild dancing, multiple instrument changes and songs you can dance to even when completely wasted. Sexy and nerdy, all at once."
