Hell's Belles, MF Ruckus, and Throttlebomb at Oriental Theater
Hard to believe that such a high-concept idea as an all-girl AC/DC cover band could not only succeed, but also maintain that success for 10 years, but Hell’s Belles have done exactly that. Since forming in 2000, the Belles have survived numerous lineup changes—including the departure of both of the founding members—while touring the world, rocking faces, and even earning the endorsement of Angus Young. Whether it’s the timelessness of AC/DC’s monster riffs or the undeniable appeal of a schoolgirl-uniformed frontwoman—most likely it’s some combination of both—the Belles have managed to turn what’s essentially a high-concept punchline into a musical career.
