Bella A Beauty For Mint

Posted by Grant Lawrence on Feb 23, 2007

"According to the CBC Radio 3 facebook page, which we were just alerted to and are very excited about, a facebooker named Katrina says:"
Most frustrating artist discovered from CBC Radio 3:
Bella.

"Because they made "Didn't Mean To Break Our Love"...which CBC 3 plays pretty often...which I love...and which is pretty much impossible to either buy or download.Katrina now has hope!

"According to a recently released press release from Mint Records, the Vancouver label has signed the heavily hyped and saccharin sweet pop trio.

"According to Mint, the love affair began shortly after the band was handpicked to open for the
New Pornographers at the CBC Radio 3 /Exclaim! / Mint Roadshow. Since then, the Mint gang has been bonkers for Bella. "I love this band," said Mint co-founder Bill Baker, "like, LOVE this band."

"Watch for Bella’s debut album on Mint later in 2007. Until then, Katrina and other Bella boosters can get their fix right now.

Hey.... thanks for sharing this post. Get perfect solution of Del computer driver issues, then you just dial Dell support number UK only.

The Minus One on slide show now playing "The Minus One" is the name of the group Dana Alberts, Liam Hart and Mike Henry started in the eighties. The band released four singles through the "Skate Rock" series through Thrasher Magazine, and appeared on “One Giant Leap”, a compilation record released in England on Venture Records in 1983. The next year, they recorded “Where A Man Was Made,” with Spencer Dryden on drums (Jefferson Airplane drummer) and Naomi Ruth Isenberg (Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks) on violin. Minus One toured the U.S. in 1985 with the VKTMS, the punk band formed by drummer Louis Gwerder and featuring Nyna Crawford. Later that year Alberts was approached by Danny Sugerman, the author and former manager of the “Doors, and Iggy Pop's manager, after Sugerman had heard a tape of the band. This led them to an offer of a record deal from Geffen Records. The band, broke up before the deal could be consummated. They reformed in late 2006, and are be currently rehearsing to play extensively in 2007.
