Here is a remix for the Riverside based garage rock band The Bellrays http://www.thebellrays.com/
It is a pleasure to work with such an amazing band. The bellrays Lisa Kekuala brings singing to a whole other level, keeping your ears glued to the speakers. Lisa's band includes Bob-Guitar, Justin-Bass and Stefan-Drums who's performance live creates a vibe so addicting, it keeps you wanting more every time you see them.
All I was given for the remix was Lisa's Vocals, backup vocals and strings. Everything else was put together by Zaptra. This is the first remix of many in the time to come. Currently working on remixes for "Full time Villian" a Los Angeles based artist. Along another L.A. Artist Named "yoYa". I will be posting these remixes up very soon. For now, enjoy this one.
