About The BellRays

The BellRays (ALWAYS capitalized as The BellRays) are an American group that combines punk rock music with soul and blues singing styles. The band consists of Lisa Kekaula (vocals), Bob Vennum (guitar), Justin Andres (bass) and Stefan Litrownik (drums). The group, founded in the early 1990s in Riverside, California, prides itself on its independence. The BellRays were originally a duo that played vintage R&B, but they added more members and the band's sound progressed into a rawer, edgier punk, blues, rock & soul sound as heard today. On the group's MySpace page, they describe themselves as follows: "High Octane Rock and Roll! Biography schmiography! Who cares about where they came from or what they did before or how many records they put out. Stats are not what music or this band is about. If you have an open mind and want something challenging in your life then this is where you want to stop and listen. Just take it in and make up your own mind. You tell us what we're about and then tell your friends whether you like it or not."
