After a somewhat meteoric rise to prominence aboard the good ship MySpace, indie-pop teen phenomenon Flamboyant Bella finally release their full debut single ‘Get A Reaction’ this September.
The response that this buoyant synth driven live favourite breeds is a contagious desire to dance. Thoroughly exhilarating and packed full of youthful exuberance, this infectious single looks set to be one of this summer’s sure fire hits.
These four mercurial teenagers hail from Hitchin in Hertfordshire and are all unbelievably aged between 17 and 19. Already amassing a staggering 2 million hits on their MySpace, it’s easy to see how they have managed to complete three tours of the UK and have no problem filling each show despite not even having released a single yet. Singer and multi instrumentalist James McBreen knows how to write a memorable riff or two and combines their lively composition with witty insightful tales of capricious youth, the arduous task of growing up, and mixture of emotions that comes with being an adolescent. Front woman and guitarist Flo Kirton’s stunning looks are matched by her equally attractive, distinctive vocals, fusing effortlessly with James to make an utterly engaging front line of the band. Completing the quartet are talented musical brothers Mitch on bass and 'Doreen' on drums who provide the perfect rhythm section.
After queues forming for their sold out gigs around the regions, it was not so surprising that their recent trip to London resulted in a packed out crowd at the 300 capacity Islington Academy. With a fan base like this already in hand, their debut release looks set to propel Flamboyant Bella onwards towards the big time.
Flamboyant Bella will be hitting the road once again when they join Kid British on the ULive Tour in October as well as playing a headline show at The Shed in Leicester.
