The Bellrays/Meet The Bellrays

THE BELLRAYS

Crud has preview audio streams from Poptone's LA soul punksters, The Bellrays. The new album 'Meet The Bellrays' is out now.

08/05/2002

If you weren’t lucky enough to catch these LA punk soul n rollers giving the UK a kick in the face on the recent Hives tour, busting some backs and breaking some hearts themselves in more cosy club environs or you haven’t even heard the raucous UK debut album ‘Meet the Bellrays’ yet (a compilation of tracks from their first two US records) then you may be missing out on something special.

The Bellrays formed in the Riverside area of Los Angeles in the late 90s, Lisa Kekaula and Bob Vennum setting about stripping down to basics with some honest, bare blues and soul sounds. But with Tony Fate joining on guitar they found that kick that we hear today on their MC5, Stooges, James Brown pillaging punk n roll honesty. With vocals that could probably convert a man to anything she chose, Lisa is a diva in every right way. And with such deep, evangelical tuneage to back her up, where could they go wrong.
