Influences
"The sophomore EP release from buzzy local duo Bella Clava explains why we’ve been hearing their name so often lately. Produced by notorious recording legend Steve Albini (no doubt a major coup for a group of up-and-coming Thunder Bay transplants), the record drips fuzz-blues grit, 70s classic rock swagger and piles of charisma."."
--Richard Trapunski, NOW Magazine. ................................................................................................................
"This Thunder Bay act has one speed, full forward with chugging guitar, manic keyboards, relentless drumming and the frantic vocals of Caitlin Dacey."
--Lenny Stoute, Digital Journal Review of Canadian Music Week '09.
................................................................................................................
"An invigorating classic-rock spirit, hard-driving , brash rhythms, capped-off by animated keyboard
playing. Caitlin’s vocals, stylistically akin to a more song-and-dance Stevie Nicks, soar above an
anthemic 70’s inspired romp, complete with combustible energy and sweeping guitar solos. In a venue
with an elaborate lighting system, this foursome were looking to impress the crowd, and may have succeeded. Killer hook-laden rock and roll, straight up."
--Lonely Vagabond Exclaim! Magazine review of The Mod Club show .............................................................................................................
"Imagine The Black Keys, with a female lead, playing music at a strip club and you begin to get a
sense of the sonic collage that Bella Clava assembles. The connection between the audience
and the band was strong on this night. Both sides seemed to be having fun and letting loose. And
really that's what you want on a Saturday night."
--Peter Kearns, TO Snob Music .............................................................................................................
"The band performed some straight forward rock 'n roll that also contains traces of jazz and blues
infected rhythms. Caitlin Dacey's voice has a slightly schmoozy quality to it that is very captivating while
the guitarist Steve Suttie was just one amazing solo after another. The drummer
kept everything tight and driving ahead at a frantic pace as the band played a set that certainly kept the attention
of all in the audience."
--It's Not The Band I Hate... review of Horseshoe Nu Music Nite ..............................................................................................................
"This buzz-worthy band is just getting started. Trust. Go see them now before they become too famous and important to talk to you after a set."
--Blair, Tiger Beat Socialites....review of ColdSpell album/CD release party
