Bella Novela

About Me


Spaghetti-Western Wizard Rock


Since 2007
These friends met at a rock-n-roll summer camp for kids, where they taught the musicians of tomorrow how to play. Sneaking away at night from the campers to play music, Bella Novela was formed.
Armed with their trusty van named six-cow, stay tuned, for this band will be coming to a city near you.
"High-drama high-energy rock from a band whose fervent hope is to outnova the Mexican daytime soaps: 'The bigger, the sadder and the more overdramatic the better,' singer Jackie O says." - Chris Ziegler, The District Weekly
"Long Beach, Calif., power-pop group called Bella Novela hammered out a raw set that drew equally on Pat Benatar and Iron Maiden. Drummer Jannea McClure pummeled away at her kit with heaps of intensity, and guitarist Jacob Heath’s dizzying riffing collided with the soulful howls of singer-keyboardist Jackie Ojeda. Bella Novela’s set pulled largely from its latest EP, Summer Loving, which the group managed to sell to most of the attendants with its tight performance." - Joel Shanahan, Madison Decider
"The singer is very animated, both physically and vocally. She wrings every drop of emotion out of every lyric. She sings with her hands too, which was lovely...This set took on an almost theatrical quality for me, and I'd like to see them do their thing next time they come to town. The bubbly way the drummer counts off the songs is worth the cover charge alone. So cute." - Michael Klayman, The Lens and the Eyebrow
