Four HOURS of Kris Bell Band = HEAVEN

Laura — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 01:24:16 +0000

I’m really looking forward to hitting the road for Nashville this week, because it promises to be a big weekend for Kris Bell and the band. On Thursday, the Kris Bell Band will be playing from 9 pm – 1 am at Brewhouse South in Cool Springs. There’s no cover, plus they serve food, so it could be a double score: dinner and a FOUR HOUR show!

On Saturday, we have the first (soon to be annual) Music City Mayhem Awards show for Nashville rock and metal artists, sponsored by Dungeon Promotions. Kris has been nominated for four awards in the Rock music category: best male vocal, best guitar, best live show, and best song (“Livin’ for Tomorrow”). Competition is tough, but I bet Kris goes home with an award or two (or 4 ). Show is at the Rutledge and starts promptly at 7 pm, so get there early and stake out your seat!

Once we get through this weekend, Kris, Coop, Shane, and Bryan will be heading to Clarksville, TN, for the Rivers & Spires Festival’s Last Band Standing competition. Kris and the guys will be playing Saturday afternoon, April 16, on the Courthouse Stage at 5 pm, so be sure to get out to cheer them on. If they win the day’s competition, they will come back on stage later in the evening to compete against the Friday winner in the finals. Sexstone, a friend of the KBB, is playing Friday. Wouldn’t it be great to see both bands on the stage for the finals? If it happens, you know who I’m rooting for, though. Sorry, Sexstone LOL!

For more pictures and videos of Kris’ shows, be sure to click through to the forum. Register, and see a whole world of information to look through – past and present. I know I’ve loaded pix of my last two shows into the Kris Pix section, and added links to view videos of Kris’ entire acoustic set from Hard Rock on March 17. I will also be posting (very soon!) audio of the show from when I turned the recorder on (almost at the beginning, and definitely before the first song) to the very end. That will include all the inter-song dialogue, which was funny all on its own. What a great night it was to be a Kris Bell fan.

Finally, in addition to being a performing rock star, he’s also a promoting rock star. This week, he recorded a special welcome message for all who visit Rebel Bell. Check it out below. This will appear in a tab at the top of the blog page very soon, so all visitors can view it as they want. To receive email notices of future exclusive content (and there will be more), be sure to subscribe to the blog. Kris has great things coming, and you won’t want to miss a thing!

Kris Bell will be rocking with Skinny Molly tomorrow!

If you are going to be in the Austin area on Thursday, Kris will be stepping in to play guitar again with his friends in Skinny Molly. It’s fun to watch Kris step into that roll and play lots of Southern Rock with Mike Estes and the other guys. I can almost bet that FREEBIRD will be seen…. and you know, Kris Bell and FREEBIRD is one combination that is unforgettable! I will admit to pouting a little… hate for Kris to come to Texas to perform in any capacity and not be there (as his number 1 Texas fan ya know LOL) to support him… but can’t make this one. Makes me sad…. and just pray for another Texas date soon LOL, pretty please Kris LOL. I have had the pleasure of seeing Kris perform with this band and really enjoyed it! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that Kris is getting exposure out there anyway! You know people are gonna say, “Who is that guitarist?!”. Hope you have some Kris cards to pass out with ya, even when you are with Skinny Molly, Kris… cause you know people are gonna be watching and listening to you! Here’s the info. about tomorrow, direct from Kris’ MySpace:

I’m sitting in with my good friend Mike Estes and Skinny Molly. It’s always a great time and a great show with those guys! For more info, please visit Skinny Molly’s myspace page. www.myspace.com/skinnymolly

Some of you may have noticed that the Rebel Bell forum has not been available off and on since yesterday morning. Apparently, InvisionFree is having a serious issue that has affected all boards, but not all at once. Depending on your ISP, you may or may not be able to access the board.

DON’T PANIC!

InvisionFree is working to get the board back up and running. In the meantime, there are some things you can do to support Kris:

Vote!
Vote some more!
Go to Kris’ MySpace page and check out the new songs he’s uploaded.

Schedule a trip to Memphis to see Kris perform live June 7 at the Hard Rock Cafe on Beale St. ($5 cover, 10 pm)
Vote even more! Kris is at #21 at the time of this blog, but I’m sure he’ll go higher with just a little bit of effort.

And don’t forget to check back in regularly. I’m sure the board will be back up before you know it.

How weird is it…

…to be in Nashville and not see Kris Bell? VERY weird. I had a stressful week and had thought I was going to have to work over the weekend, but at 4 pm last Friday, it was determined that I couldn’t do what I needed to do this weekend. SO, since I knew that Jimmy Mitchell and Double Down (aka JMADD) were playing at French Quarter Cafe, I packed a bag and headed south.

Jimmy, JRoxx and Coop–the same John Cooper from the Kris Bell Band–put on a great show, especially since FQC was having technical issues. Plus I had a good time hanging with my friends PMC and CindyG.

So, while Kris is hard at work in the studio, check out these guys if you can…
