Poor Bela

shoegazing for shit-stompers since 2003

About Me

Poor Bela began as a one-man project in a corner-of-the-room studio set-up. With the recent addition of a bassist/guitarist and the mechanical wonder of the drum machine, we've started playing out places. We'd love some help getting booked to do more shows, as we're still a bit new at this. If you feel you can/want to help in this arena, please do send us a message. Also, a real drummer might be neat to have someday. Drum machines are very cold and un-feeling things. If that piques your interest, again, please send us a message.
