SDZ and LES DISQUES STEAK present :
LES BELLAS
New album "Belladelic"
Hailing from Perpignan (North Catalonia/France) and named after a
defunct neighbouring doll brand, LES BELLAS raised from the ashes of
several local 90's garage combos such as LES GARDIENS DU CANIGOU, LES
BEACH BITCHES etc.
Guitarists Giom Picard and Lionel Liminana teamed up again in 2003, this
time with their gals Marie Liminana (drums) and Nadege Figuerola
(vocals, trumpet). Rarely playing outside of their turf, LES BELLAS
released two wonderful garage-pop singles "Electrified" and "Hey, I'm
Going Down" on the local Profet label in 2005.
These 4 sides got them rave reviews and an LP offer was quickly turned
by a famous West Cost garage punk label in 2006. Eventually said famous
label honcho flaked and by 2007 the band disintegrated. With everyone
moving to some exciting new projects such as LES LIMINANAS, the BELLAS
LP remained unreleased until two parisian labels SDZ and LES DISQUES
STEAK decided to join forces to finally unleash this monster to the
world.
BELLADELIC is LES BELLAS debut full-length LP, due for release on Sept.
1. Comprised of 10 originals and 2 ripping versions of Wanda Jackson 's
"Funnel of Love" and the Cryin' Shames Gentlemen's classic "It's a
Cryin' Shame", all self produced and recorded for this album, tracks
include the moody "Drown" and "Ego Psycho", the rock'n'roll
rollercoaster "Minstrial Blues", the fuzz epic "Got my Soul", the
unforgettable "I did my Time". And then there is the warped french pop
of "I love You" and "Belladelic"and the stunning horn driven byrdsian
folk-rock of "Sad Morning".
With solid songwriting, subtle arrangements and great voices, LES BELLAS
take a classic 60's rock'n'roll/pop sound, run it through a fuzztone
blender and just do it right, bypassing all the retro crap that revival
bands often get bogged in. BELLADELIC is a real grower and after a few
hundred listens you'll probably find yourself, like us, playing this
record (and humming to its perfect tunes) constantly.
