Bella Lune is a darkwave/dreampop band that was formed in 2007 in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. The band incorporates elements of darkwave, post-punk, synthpop, shoegaze, and ethereal music to create a dreamlike trance throughout their sound. Bella Lune cites many 80s post-punk and new wave bands as influences, including The Cure, Joy Division, New Order, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Depeche Mode, Cocteau Twins, Bauhaus, and Love and Rockets.

History

Bella Lune originated when lead singer/songwriter Fuchsia Angel met former guitar player and songwriter Kal3id. After discovering they had similar tastes in music, Bella Lune took shape.

The band's first album, Abstracted Visions, was released in 2007 on the band's own record label, Aetheria Music.[1] The album drew comparisons by critics to bands like The Cure, The Birthday Massacre,Cocteau Twins, and Switchblade Symphony.[2] Abstracted Visions relies on delicate synth and guitar patterns to weave somber and ambient atmospheres. The band also released music videos for three songs--"Transmissions," "Neverwhere," and "Blissful Escape."[3] Hurley was recruited in 2008 to play synths and help with production.

In 2009, the band was listed in Music to Die For: The International Guide to Today's Extreme Music Scene,[4] written by Mick Mercer. Violinist, Beeka, made her live debut when Bella Lune opened for Nitzer Ebb, on their Industrial Complex tour.[5]

Synesthesia, the group's second album, was released in 2010.[6] In the same footsteps of their debut, Synesthesia drew further comparisons to bands well known within dark alternative circles. It also opened them up to a larger, international audience. Drummer, R. Duke, joined the live lineup in 2010. The band created music videos for "The Dolly Pop Song" and the fan favorite "Ophelia." [7] Following the release of Synesthesia, Bella Lune embarked on a tour in Japan,[8] with a headline performance in Tokyo. Prior to the tour, Dy was recruited to play guitar, completing the live ensemble.

In 2011, Bella Lune released an EP called Ophelia,[9] featuring remixes by artists, including Daniel Myer. It also has a cover of Dead Souls by Joy Division. The band was featured in Issue 7 of Giuseppina Magazine[10] and photographed by Brandy Caldwell. Fuchsia and Dy appeared on the cover of Echo Magazine's 2011 Halloween Issue.[11] Fuchsia was featured in the Breast Cancer Awareness Issue of Giuseppina Magazine,[12] where she was she was commended for donating her hair to the charity Locks of Love. Fuchsia also appeared in the special Halloween edition of Giuseppina Magazine, with a pictorial by photographer Brandy Caldwell.[13]

In 2012, Bella Lune embarked on their first European Tour, which ended with a headline performance in Whitby, England at the Bram Stoker Film Festival. Heinz Ehlmann wrote about Bella Lune in Issue 74 of Gothic Magazine. The song "Ophelia" was included on the magazine's Gothic Compilation Part LIV.[14] Lead singer, Fuchsia, was published in several fashion magazines in 2012, including Bella Morte Magazine,[15] LA Hot Magazine,[16] and Vedere Magazine.[17]

The third album Secrets,[18] released in 2013,[19] saw a shift in direction, toning down the electronics and bringing a more organic sound to the forefront. The last track on the album is a live mix of "Transmissions," featuring heavier guitars and percussion, as well as a violin outro.[20] This is the last album to feature founding member Kal3id. In August 2013, Fuchsia was on the cover of the Phoenix New Times Magazine, titled "Rock of Ages".[21] Fuchsia was also on the cover of Carpe Nocturne Magazine, and interviewed for the article "An Evening With Bella Lune".[22]

In 2014, Bella Lune contributed a song to the charity compilation DeathMass Six, to help feed hungry families. Bella Lune is currently working on their fourth studio album Tranzendental.[23] The album is scheduled for release in January 2015.
