Will I Forget You Tomorrow?

"Cause, everyone's got their troubles, I can show you.
You crawl, are you carrying the weight of our troubles.
Our indifference has destroyed you (Vultures)"

--------------------------------
Today was a day like many others. Wake up, turn the computer on, and think about songs.
Walk, eat, and then work some more.
Sing, laugh, then shed a tear or two.
Because as of lately, everything seems to be hanging on a song.

The Legalities of Life

Up above, the countertop, lives my motivation
if you brush off the cobwebs, you can see there's some artistic inclination
to want to write and sing and perform
to be able to share the hurt, pain, and the joy
But there are too many functionalities to account for
particularly when the inside cant connect to the outerworld
Is it time for a break or some quite contemplation?
To find the definition of this lack motivation,
I can not account for?
Perhaps, all I have to do is close my eyes and wish it so.
But my eyes are starting to feel heavy, its time for a pause.

Many activities in Bella land, trying to find the time to see it all through.
Up next, should be the premiere of our 2nd DIY video for the song "Try" from the Premonitions EP.
Stay tuned.

Lightning

Take me with you,
as you call me so clearly,
everyone is laughing,
but Im feeling so sleazy.
there is nothing to wonder,
when you are fully awake,
is there anything to be,
if I sit here, scared.
And if you shall holler,
and call him, your own,
you'll always be searching,
dunk the ball in the hole,
so sit and pretend,
it all makes sense,
when the whispers they tell you,
to celebrate the new day.

Howdy!

We've been cooking up a storm here at Bella Noir; cooking up a little feast of cool things, and new songs, and new things to do.
Sorry, we disappear off the face of the planet every few weeks or so. Life does get hectic.....I am sure you can relate.

We've got some shows lined up for the next few months. Also, working on booking some out of town shows. We'll be playing a benefit concert in Philly this summer...looking forward to that!

Now....just to change gears a bit.....Help to cut down in unnecessary consumerism...!!

I recently discovered this good website for getting rid of unnecessary catalogs you get in the mail. Do the planet and yourself a favor and visit, catalogchoice.org . Create an account , and if you know all the junk catalogs you get, search for them on their database and take yourself off their mailing list.

Every little bit helps.

Okay, back to music. ...

We are playing Fontanas tommorrow at 10:30pm, http://www.fontanasnyc.com/

Come on by.

See ya!

Oh Hi There.....

So now that the CD Release is an afterthought, we move on to the next thing. But not first without some rest, we are all a little sleepy, alittle sick, a little tired.

Thank you so much to everyone who came out despite rainy, cold, dreary weather and danced their hearts with us.

We will be in touch much sooner than later.

We All Live In A Music Submarine

Regardless, what you think, we have not been lazy these few weeks that we have not written....really, truly, believe me. We've been busy doing things, many things, all sorts of things, things that you can't even imagine, school things, music things, love things, fight things, sad things, happy things, funny things, amusing things, creative things, vacationing in other countries things, things of things, just plain things.

We are happy to soon release to those that want to listen, our debut EP, Premonitions: 5 songs + 1 little medley.

Try
Stand Closer
On the Floor
My Son
Bellow
Distraction

2 shows coming our way: Club Midway This Friday 10pm, you can buy tickets here: Bella Noir Club Midway 2/15.

Come and mend your broken hearts this Friday.

Most importantly CD Release is scheduled for Friday March 7th at 10pm at Pianos with a band called Figo.

Lots of things to do before then.

Nothings Going To Come: Part II

And nothing came.

Myspace a bit of disappointment again...have not made any new musical discoveries in a while.

I know you are out there....come and get me...!

Band will be coming back from winter/holiday hibernation...moving on to phase 2. We will keep you posted.

We Are Still Alive, We Are Still Alive, We Are Still Alive

Enjoying some much needed peace and quite.....last few weeks of this month have been a blur...holidays passed right by in a big mad whirl.

Distraction...has become a distraction from all other things....multiples of multiples of vocal performances for that song and not one that rings right....This song has become the last pain in the arse....

all others happily coming together, shall I dare to say, slowly, very s-l-o-w-l-y making their way to the mastering stage. Oh this would all be great.

Its As If Our World Is Moving Ever So Slowly, Even Though Plenty Of People Are Speeding By

We are playing our last show of the year this Wednesday, 12/5 at 10:30pm at the Mercury Lounge, visit www.mercuryloungenyc.com for more details and come by and keep our stage warm with us.

Time seems to be moving very slow for us as we eagerly wait and work on finishing this EP; 8 months in the making. So many things on hold, just waiting for this to be done.

New Years Resolutions are on our minds....all hoping to feel whole, complete, and free.

On other news, we seem to be finding numerous nuggets of art/music/fun in the Greenpoint/Williamsburg area....that area is filled to the rim with some many crevices to explore......so come have a late night with us.....

Especially this wednesday, 12/5.....we will certainly need you then :)

Best
