The Bellhops was formed in 1989 by one of Hollands greatest guitar slinger, Emilio Garcia. Almost Immediately the band was a huge succes. After releasing their first 45 on the now legendary "Mac label", the band signed with the widely popular "Rockhouse Records" and released their first full platter "Ain't Gonna Take it Nomore". The album became an instand hit, so their second CD "Wild Wet and Juicy" soon followed.
During this time the band also became Europe's number one choice to Back American and British Rock-'n-Roll legends such as Billy Lee Riley, Sonny Burgess, DJ Fontana, Johnny Powers, Charlie Gracie, Eddie bond, Ray Campi, Dave Travis, Sandy Ford and Graham Fenton. These shows were so succesful that Ray Campi picked The Bellhops to Record two Albums with him "Rockin around the House" and "One more Hop" and Charlie Gracie used the guys for his 1995 release on "Rarity records".
During a 10 year break the Band members individualy played for many differend artists all over the world. Finally!!!, after a long wait The Bellhops are back together with their unique blend of Rock-'n-Roll, Blues, Swing en Latin.
The new album with Billy lee Riley "Still got my mojo" now available at Rhythm Bomb records, along with the new Bellhops album "Rock 'n' Roll"
