Bella Morte return in 2012!

BELLA MORTE:

By combining electronics, graveyard ballads, emotive storytelling and unique guitar riffs, Bella Morte have developed a style that is solely their own, which is aided by the talents of Andy Deane, who studied opera for five years to strengthen his vocal capabilities. Andy is also a published author, his debut horror novel “The Sticks” released by Delirium Books in 2009. His second novel is slated for a 2011 release. As the band continues to tour and write new material, they remain eternally thankful to have been able to make a living doing what they love: singing songs about the dead and winning over the hearts of the living along the way.
Early in their career, Bella Morte entered the Virginia Battle of the Bands, where their dark sound bested a host of rock bands for first place. The cash prize funded their first album, "Remains". After self-releasing their second release, "Where Shadows Lie", the band got a major boost when Cleopatra Records re-released it. After selling thousands of copies of "Shadows", Bella Morte caught the attention of a larger label, Metropolis Records, who signed them in 2002 and has since released four full-length CDs and one EP to great success.  Bella Morte were instrumental in reviving Gothic music in the US, and continue to forge a path for dark music in the underground.
Bella Morte have been a sought-after opener for KMFDM, The Misfits, The 69 Eyes, and Mindless Self Indulgence and have performed on the Vans Warped Tour. They have also toured Europe, the UK, Canada and the US extensively. As a best-kept secret on the underground music scene, Bella Morte have gained respect as one of the most powerful live acts going today.

The Unsatisfied- raw, high energy rock & roll meets dangerous punk rock with precision.  A complete package; a genuine American punk act with so much power and spectacle on stage it's like being hit by a rock and roll lightning bolt.   
    Formed in 1986 by frontman Eric Scealf, this true blood and glitter operation has toured for many years across the southeast and beyond, sharing the stage with such luminaries as The Misfits, Sylvain Sylvain (New York Dolls), Cheetah Chrome (Dead Boys), Dave Brockie Experience (GWAR), The Murder Junkies, Superdrag, Asphalt Blaster, Georgia Satellites, and Nashville Pussy. They’ve also toured multiple times with HBO’s Real Sex “most dangerous rock band”, The Impotent Sea Snakes.         
    Playing everywhere from the hallowed stage of CBGB’s in New York, to performing for free at southern skate-parks for underage fans, The Unsatisfied always serves up healthy portions of faith and fire for punk rock aficionados. 
    "Songs the Belt Taught Us" is the newest CD from The Unsatisfied.  It was recorded at Revolution Sound with Mike Pack engineering and helping the band produce and finished at Chase Park Transduction in Athens, GA with mixing by David Barbe (Bob Mould, DriveByTruckers) and mastering by Drew Vandenberg (WidespreadPanic, DriveByTruckers).  It was released April 27th 2011.  It has since been lauded by reviewers nation wide as one of the "best albums of the year...".  "Songs the Belt Taught Us" is also featured on Pandora.
      The Unsatisfied is not your average rock band. They may be hard, but they’re more rhythmic than James Brown and embody the sensuality of Prince. It’s punk rock infused with jazz beats and sexual angst, you owe it to yourself to see The Unsatisfied live. Prepare yourself for the Southern music scene's most whispered dirty secret, The Unsatisfied…

A self-taught musician, Leticia Wolf is an artist, writer and performer.  As a child, her musical style developed from eclectic combinations like Nirvana to James Taylor and Johnny Cash to the The Beatles.
Her writing style has been described as "method-acting" and her recent EP is a perfect example of her diverse abilities.  When she teamed-up with Nashville-based producer Mark Hornsby in late 2008, they had a rough concept of the sound they wanted, --combining the themes of the South with the angst of grunge music.   Most of the songs were written as the recording process took place.  At almost every recording session, Leticia brought in a new song that she thought might sound even "darker" than her last.  The song Comfortable in Hell was written in the middle of the night, two weeks after all the songs were finalized.  The strings for the song were actually recorded during the last day of the mixing process.  Needless to say, the EP took on a life of its own and inspired Leticia to write. The final product was a sonic journey that ebbed and flowed gracefully. From hard rock to old-school country ballads, it maintained its continuity with lyrical content, organic instrumentation, dry vocals, and an underlying "dark groove".
