The Coronas have asked us to support them for one night of their Olympia Dates. We have been locked away for weeks writing our new album and decided we would take a one day break to show off our new line up! It will be a great show all round and with main support from The Kanyu Tree we can’t wait to do our thing and then find a good seat for the rest of the night!
Thanks again to everyone for the support over the last few weeks!
After an extremely hectic 2011, Miracle Bell would like to announce that Dave has decided it’s time for him to make the difficult decision and leave the band. After dedicating the past six years of his life to Miracle Bell, he feels he cant commit to what promises to be a busy and productive 2012 so he’s moving on with non musical projects.
‘We are going to miss having Dave in the band. The three of us are obviously great friends and that won’t change. Dave didn’t feel he was cut out for moving forward with Miracle Bell. It was a big decision for him to make and we’re sure he will do great in whatever he chooses to do in the future . Myself and Riggers are more determined than ever for Miracle Bell to succeed . I’m really proud of everything we have done so far and we will be back in 2012 stronger than ever with our new record’ (John B)
This is certainly not the end of Miracle Bell, and with John Broe taking over lead vocals, the guy’s would like to present their brand new single ‘FlashBackHome’ which is currently available as a FREE download from www.miraclebell.com and can also be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4sBwBgLdYk
Miracle Bell have big plans for 2012 with a new record and extensive tour in the pipeline, and the guy’s would like to take this opportunity to thank all the fans for all the love and support they’ve shown, and hopefully will continue to show.
They have one last surprise up their sleeves for 2011 – keep an eye on their website and/or facebook page for updates (www.facebook.com/MiracleBell) over the coming days.
