Belles Will Ring 'Broader Than Broadway' tour


Blue Mountains psychedelic rockers, Belles Will Ring will be touring through out February and March 2009. Their mission: promote the band's new mini album Broader Than Broadway.

Following on from their critically acclaimed debut record Mood Patterns (2007), the mini album has been praised as an accomplished release, once again recorded and produced by the band in a lounge room in the Blue Mountains.

Following an extensive touring schedule through out most of 2007 and early 2008, Belles Will Ring are seasoned players and offer an exciting live show of jangly guitar jams, beautiful harmonies and one of the best rhythm sections you'll ever see.

Joining them for the tour is Sydney based garage-soul band Philadelphia Grand Jury and Brisbane based indie-folk-pop act Little Scout. Both bands were announced Triple J Next Crop Artists in November and will be promoting new singles on the tour.

There is also a free tour sampler featuring 3 tracks from each band available to download - HERE! Included in the sampler is the Broader Than Broadway track Renegades .

Belles Will Ring new mini-lp out now, and a video of how they did it



Broader Than Broadway, the new mini album by Australia’s Belles Will Ring, is in the nicest of ways the end result of a series of 'happy accidents', which saw Belles adeptly harness their creative energy [and mishaps] to shape a cohesive new record.

Self-produced over a six month period, once again at Three Shades Green (aka Liam Judson’s parents lounge room) Broader Than Broadway contains all of the sprawling sound scapes of Belles' debut album Mood Patterns.

The introduction of Aidan Roberts (lead guitarist) to shared song writing credits has consolidated the chemistry of Belles Will Ring, creating a diverse, refined, and unified direction as a 4 piece.

2008 has seen the band expand its song writing and production credits both in and away from Belles Will Ring. Drummer, Ivan Lisyak shares the same duties for Sydney quartet The Paper Scissors. Vocalist Liam Judson has been fine-tuning his producing skills on the new Lovetones LP, while lending his guitar playing and songwriting skills to Sister Jane and The Late Night Sound. Guitarist Aidan Roberts has delivered an acclaimed debut under his Maple Trail moniker. The musical adventures of the band's individual members has delivered significant progress and maturity for Belles Will Ring on this release... with many more to follow.

In the meantime, the band have lovingly prepared this little video on how Broader Than Broadway came together:
