The Belle Brigade
Based in Los Angeles, the Belle Brigade is a pop duo featuring Barbara and Ethan Gruska, the grandchildren of Oscar-winning film composer John Williams. Before teaming up with her younger brother, Barbara launched her career as a touring musician, becoming one of L.A.s most sought-after drummers thanks to her work with Inara George and Jenny Lewis. Taking a break from the road in 2009, she began writing music with Ethan, a teenaged pianist whod been penning his own songs in her absence. Both siblings had been raised by Jay Gruska, a former solo artist who, after releasing two major-label albums in the early 80s, made his name writing songs for artists like Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, and Amy Grant. The Belle Brigade took most of their cues from the '70s, though, creating a sound whose vocal harmonies and bright, breezy pop hooks were heavily influenced by Fleetwood Mac. Using Barbara's connections in the L.A. music scene, they pieced together a backup band and entered the recording studio with producer Matthew Wilder, emerging in spring 2011 with their self-titled debut album. ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi
We saw them opening for Grouplove in Austin. Great show, but what stuck with me was the fact they still manned their own merch booth. They were genuinely surprised when I recognized them and asked them to sign the shirt I just purchased. Afterwards, right before their set, they came and found my wife and I and talk with us for 20 minutes. Down to earth, great musicians, and a truly fun show. If they tour anywhere near you, go. The live harmonization is even better than those on the record.
I think the similar artist list doesn't make any sense. The Belle Brigade are one of the more unique groups I've heard in awhile. Here's to a long career!!!
