The london based trio consists of Kathrin deBoer, Ricky Fabulous & Dj Modest, who write songs, record and play live. Loudly.
Initially, Belleruche released a handful of extremely limited 7” records on their own Hippoflex label, including the ‘Four Songs EP’. These individually numbered 45’s quickly sold out in the UK’s independent record stores and attracted a cult following in the UK and Europe.
In 2007 Belleruche signed to Tru Thoughts and their debut album ‘Turntable Soul Music’ was released in July of that year to fantastic reactions from fans and the media alike, garnering admiring reviews both at home and abroad and becoming the fastest-selling debut album in the label’s history. The album has been described as “like a weird trawl through a dusty basement full of the best records you’ve never heard of, whilst a voice you can’t quite pin down sings hooks you can’t forget.”
By now Belleruche released their third album, ‘270 Stories’ in October 2010, it immediately gained radio play across Europe and key BBC support from 6 Music, Radio 2 and Radio 1. The band have live sessions on BBC 6 Music and Radio 4 in the UK and for Virgin Radio in France. Also in France, radio stations ‘FIP’ and ‘Radio NOVA’ playlisted the album repeatedly.
The band toured the UK, France and the USA in November and December 2010, with heavy radio support from KCRW, NPR and KEXP. They played several showcase gigs at SXSW 2011 in Texas, having received funding from the PRS foundation for new music to visit the festival.
The three singles (Clockwatching, Fuzz face and 3 Amp fuse) released from ‘270 stories’ have had great support from i-tunes and extensive radio play across Europe and the USA.
The trio has recently finished the recordings for their highly anticipated upcoming lp ROLLERCHAIN which will be released this year via Tru Thoughts.
