Bomb you live!

I hadn't seen the Bella Bombs live before, though of course I've seen various members at shows around town. Pretty straight ahead punk rock from this formerly female foursome. Yes, formerly - the band's new drummer, Suspect Device, is a guy.

Honey-Bomb sings, snarls, etc. - and plays a sparkly green guitar (except when she doesn't).



E-Bomb on lead guitar and fishnets.



Turbo-Bomb on bass.



The newest member, Suspect Device (a.k.a. Pat), on drums.



Turbo and Honey in dual shoutalong mode.



... and Suspect, Honey and E.



The Bella Bombs will be strutting their stuff for the discerning Zaphod's crowd June 19 when they go head-to-head with The Patsies, Stone Melodies and Quarter Life for a chance to grace the Bluesfest stage. They're also opening for Broadzilla and The Demolition Doll Rods June 3.
  • Show reminder: Horrorpops, Million Dollar Marxists and Harshey play Babylon. If you feel like running around town, it might be worth your while to check out Mommy and Daddy with Eyes Like Knives at Zaphod's. The former are supposed to be a vaguely naughty electro-bass duo, which may explain why they have an intriguing blurb from Turbonegro in their ad in the latest issue of Skyscraper. Just a few blocks away, local roots rockers The Bushpilots have a CD release show at The Rainbow tonight; Good2Go is the opening act.

Hi Andrew,

Love the photos, they look great. Thanks for coming out and staying till the end, even though you were dog tired.

One minor correction -- the Bella Bombs are opening for Broadzilla on June 3rd, not the 30th :)

Oops! That's fixed ... and I didn't stay to quite the end; must have been about 1:30 when I headed out the door to walk on home.

Hi Andrew,

Was wondering if you minded if we used your wonderful photos on our own sites (with credit to you of course, and web link if you'd like) would this be ok with you?
