Hells Belles

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.

HELL'S BELLES formed in 2000, the brainchild of former member, Amy Stozenbach (guitar), alongside former member, Om Johari (vocals). The current 2005 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).

HELL'S BELLES are about AC/DC! They're about the finest rock they've got to offer and they're about empowering women to get "up front" in rock. HELL'S BELLES go to great lengths to encourage women to play music, to get involved, and to grab and hold a piece of the action. Representing for a whole new generation of women that won't be intimidated, HELL'S BELLES actively support women-populated bands, by making sure to include them in shows and interviews whenever possible. Not some down-your-throat feminism, but a proactive support and action spirit towards the continued balancing of the gender scales.

The hundreds and hundreds of shows HELL'S BELLES have played around the world, including Japan, Canada, and the good ol' USA (including Alaska), have 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 that these BAD ASS BELLES serve hot. From "Live Wire" to "The Jack" to "TNT", it's an all out rock-n-roll assault that leaves you begging for more. And, more you'll get as HELL'S BELLES keep conquering new cities, new states, and new countries. They'll be in your back yard spreading the AC/DC new testament any day now.
