The Belles of Skin City exist solely out of midwestern
proportions. The rigor of finding time to "relax" while living the
fast paced lifestyle in the respective small towns these 5
gentlemen grew up in, brought said gentlemen together over the
years (having crossed paths at many a corner show & such). After
several previous musical endeavors, some swell and some better,
the decision was made to form a new band - with hopes of besting
all previous collective attempts. The band staked its ground with
a year full of live shows that soon garnered critical acclaim,
including "Best New Band of the Twin Cities" as hailed by the
Citypages.
Belles of Skin City released their debut EP, "Ha Ha Boardroom
Think Tank Tantrums," on Totally Gross National Product in the
fall of 2005. Being accused of having a "Sousa meets swap meet"
style, The Belles have begun recording a follow up full length
album, yet to be named and slotted for a spring 2006 release.
These fellas have plans of actually leaving Minnesota for a minute
or two, to tour in support of the new release.
For this Bio to be taken any other way would be completely
expected. The Belles of Skin City are known for promising
Thanksgiving dinner and providing an Easter ham.
-----------------
The full-length follow up to their Ha Ha EP, You Do The Company
Proud is a giant step for this rapidly evolving band. This
extremely solid collection of songs are as captivating as they are
listenable, covering a wide range of dynamics and emotions. It is
also a huge step for the production duo of Jaime Hansen and David
Joe Holiday, who accomplished a beautifully textured sound that is
both acute and expansive.
Recorded by Jaime Hansen at their practice space and various
other locations in Minneapolis and Wisconsin throughout 2005-2006
