For those who like to rock

Hell\'s Belles is back at Hell\'s Kitchen

By Bobble Tiki on October 4, 2007

Hell’s Belles has been around for a while now. Their all-female tribute to AC/DC is nothing new. There’s a good chance you’ve seen them, and there’s a good chance you’ve read about them before in the Weekly Volcano.

Bobble Tiki doesn’t care. It’s true, Hell’s Belles has been doing the same thing (albeit with lineup fluctuations) since 2000 and true, AC/DC’s catalog of hits hasn’t really grown or diversified since then. But who cares? Not Bobble Tiki. Bobble Tiki knows Hell’s Belles is the prefect band to get blitzed to. And Bobble Tiki knows the sight of five smoking ladies strutting and rocking like Angus and Co. is enough to make his heart engorge with blood — among other organs.

Enough said.

Hell’s Belles will return to Hell’s Kitchen this week for two shows Saturday, Oct. 6. The Belles will play to an all-ages crowd at 5 p.m., then rock out for the 21+ folks later in the evening.

Hell’s Belles, since the band’s creation, has no doubt played more than a thousand shows. While members have come and gone, as an entity, the band obviously knows the importance of mixing things up. As usual, the band’s calendar is packed this fall. They’ll be playing shows from Bellingham to Boulder. To keep things spicy for fans, the band is taking requests via the World Wide Web. Send Hell’s Belles a message at www.myspace.com/hellsbelles and tell them what song you want to hear and where you’ll be watching them play.

The other thing Bobble Tiki loves about Hell’s Belles is their generosity and creativity — their sweaty, gyrating generosity and creativity. — Bobble Tiki
