BELAKISS INTERVIEW FOR PLAYLONDON
Belakiss interviewed after their PlayLondon live session http://www.playnetwork.eu/play-london/ Belakiss are Ruari Meehan (vocals & guitar), Ben Sheldrick (vocals & guitar), Tatia Starkey (Bass & Vocals) & Alfie Milner (drums). Belakiss have, and continue to have massive success in Japan where they reached number 1 in the international air-play chart with their Hit 'Only You', also entering the official Japanese charts at number 35. They were the first band EVER to be accepted for Fuji Rocks 2011, without having their album already out. This has sealed their place in Japan's rock history. Their melodies and sound are suggestive of psychedelic and groove epitomised by Kula Shaker and Supergrass. Their classic harmony arrangements are reminiscent of The Everley Brothers and Crosby, Stills and Nash, with bands of the 60s like The Small Faces influencing their harmonies and melody. Indeed Belakiss have an infectious, unpretentious attitude. Expect big things from Belakiss on the shores of the UK very soon http://www.belakiss.co.uk
