July, 2008–(Seattle, WA) The Napavine Amphitheater and WIRED ENERGY DRINKS proudly announced today HELL’S BELLES joins the 2008 summer line up. This Celebration also serves as a benefit for the “Down Rider Foundation” .World-famous and ready to rock, HELL’S BELLES is the premier all-female AC/DC tribute act, blowing all comers away. Playing ALL AC/DC, ALL the time, ALL over the globe, spanning all the pure rock brilliance of AC/DC’s career (from “High Voltage” to “Back in Black” and beyond), HELL’S BELLES do justice to the Aussie legends with patented HELL’S BELLES devotion, precision and fury. Endorsed by Angus Young, himself (Blender Magazine, 2003), HELL’S BELLES are the closest one can get without actually moving to Australia and joining AC/DC’s road crew.
ABOUT HELL’S BELLES:
HELL’S BELLES formed in 2000, the brainchild of former member, Amy Stozenbach (guitar), alongside former member, Om Johari (vocals). The current 2008 line-up features original member Mandy Reed, rock ready and solid as Cliff Williams (bass guitar), Adrian Conner, dreadlock slinger and wicked player as Angus Young (lead guitar), Lisa Brisbois, sly and subtly intense as Malcolm Young (rhythm guitar), Melodie Zapata, heavy hitter as Phil Rudd (drums), and finally, grabbing both Bon Scott and Brian Johnson by the balls, confident and exuberant, the “New, Hot Belle,” Jamie Nova (lead vocals).
The shows HELL’S BELLES have played around the world have already become legendary nights of epic proportions. Sold out, sexed up, and starving for a little dynamite – there’s not a HELL’S BELLES audience that hasn’t been blown away by the raw power and undeniable appeal these bad ass chicks dish out. From “Live Wire” to “She’s Got the Jack,” and “Back in Black” to “TNT,” it’s an all-out rock-n-roll assault that will leave you begging for more.
Who knew that so much fun could rock so hard? We’ll see you there with rockhorns! www. hellsbelles. info
ABOUT DOWN RIDER FOUNDATION:
“When Your Down, We’ll Help You Up!” The Down Rider Foundation is a non-profit organization formed and driven by members who believe that the camaraderie and fraternity of the motorcycle community compels us to take care of our own, whenever possible, because we recognize that someday the next person who needs help could very well be ourselves.
