About Me



bela was formed in march 2005 in Grenoble (France) when d. colette was asked by a friend to open for Hood with a bunch of songs and instrumentals composed over the last 2 years.

From that day, the friends who joined him on stage decided to go on as a band:
..... p. coeytaux plays percussion
..... d. colette plays misc. instruments and sings
..... e. renau plays cello and sings
..... v. stephan plays horns and keyboards

They have recorded 2 EPs: Reverend Charles Dodgson 1 & 2. They are now working on a new LP that they plan to release next spring.
