Bellusira is a band that has literally put everything on the line to follow their passion. Few bands can claim the convictions that this Melbourne four-piece collectively hold. From leaving the stability and comfort of home, to traveling solo in a foreign land, to living on the streets; the members of this female fronted alternative rock band seemed to gravitate to one another as though the universe had conspired for it.
Though don’t be fooled for a second that this is something driven solely by fate. A fusion of two Latin words ‘beautiful’ and ‘anger’, Bellusira has made a clear point of not letting anything get in their way. The brainchild of vocalist Crystal Ignite and Bassist Mark Dalbeth, the two built their name in the Melbourne music scene originally performing under the name ‘Fallacy’. Building a worthy fan-base over a legitimate lifespan of five years, ‘Fallacy’ soon disbanded, having accomplished all the band had hoped for. Though too much had been put at stake for Crystal and Mark to simply stop and it was from these ashes that the ‘Bellusira’ we know today rose.
Having recruited an organic and talented line up including Vinny Mancuso, from Freestate one of the most respected bands in Melbourne’s underground scene, Bellusira have wasted no time. Rather than picking up where previous projects had left off, they forged their own path and their own sound. Already with a threatening list of achievements pinned to their name that Crystal and Mark could never have imagined while caught in the haze of their bleak youths including sharing the stage with The Misfits, Dead Letter Circus and Floating Me; bands that have not only influenced the DNA of Bellusira, but also impacted profoundly the lives of the members.
Having played to full capacity venues across the country, and boasting sell out single launches every time they release a single, Bellusira have locked in 2012 as their year. With a highly anticipated full-length album on the horizon including the soon to be released single ‘Culprit’ and a fresh new line up ready for an up and coming national tour, you do not want to get in the way of this band. Much like a bulldozer colliding into a house of cards, Bellusira have some serious weight behind them. Change is coming, whether you’re ready for it…or not.
Brand new single ‘Culprit’ coming in April followed by a National Tour.
