The BellRays @ Cologne
Traveling in Europe since last week-end, I stopped for few days in Cologne and had the chance to read on the local newspaper that The BellRays were in town. Couldn’t miss the opportunity to hear at last that famous “maximum rock and soul” sound as the band like to describe their music. So, I reach in the evening the Sonic Ballroom a small Punk-Rock’n’Roll bar located in the industrial part of the city. A perfect place for loud garage soul/RnR.
The BellRays are from Riverside, in the southern California. It’s a four piece band that has been here and there since more than ten years. Lisa Kekaula on vocals brings the soul sound. Bob Vennum on bass, Tony Fate, on guitar and Craig Waters on drums, the other band members, produce the rocking side. They delivered for almost an hour to a very warm and packed audience a sweat and blood show full of high-energy.
The band is in fact touring Europe now to support the recent release of their latest album Have A Little Faith (May 2nd, 2006) on Cheap Lullaby, a final work that combines - according to the group - two seemingly disparate forms of American music: the raw power of garage rock and the emotional drama of soul.

The Bellrays are to be loved and admired, much in the way Marcia Brady is in France. Vive' La Bellrays!!!

Yeah, it was a great evening with one of the best live-shows I've ever seen! I came there by a fortunate coincidence and I was very happy to get a ticket! I'm now already waiting for the next Bellrays show to come!
The NFL’s “My Cause My Cleats” campaign in Week nfl jerseys store 13 was a rousing christian louboutin shoes success and went off without a Nike Air Max 90 hitch. (OK, mostly Nike Free Run without a hitch.) Dozens on players on the Nike Roshe Run 30 teams that wholesale nfl jerseys participated last week — the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns, on bye last week, can take NFL Jerseys part Sunday — opted to wear their specialized cleats to honor and reflect charitable and philanthropic louboutin outlet causes that christian louboutin uk were dear to each of their hearts. But it appears at least cheap nfl jerseys one player took part outside the spirit of the program. Nike Air Max 2015 Shoes
