Chrysta Bell + Black Palms Orchestra

Chrysta Bell is a performing artist, recording artist and actress who incorporates dynamic theatrical and multimedia elements into unforgettable performance experiences. In April 2019 she released her 4th studio album, titled Feels Like Love. The new album finds Chrysta Bell delving in darker territory, with influences of new wave, post punk and disco. As always, her powerful, distinctive contralto deliveries are seamless.

With Fetish 69, one of Austria’s most radical bands, Christian Fuchs once scorched his way through the international industrial rock scene; with Bunny Lake he rendered homage to danceable electro pop with equal success; with the Neigungsgruppe Sex, Gewalt & Gute Laune he helped redefine the modern Wienerlied. In his solo project Black Palms Orchestra the singer and composer brings together all these roots and many other influences. The new album „Tropical Gothic“ (SeaYou Records) refers on the one hand to feverish rock’n’roll and blues traditions. Including legendary protagonists from this genre, like Jonas Almquist, the singer of the Swedish 80ies rocker The Leather Nun.
On the other hand, the Black Palms Orchestra is deeply anchored in the current vibrant Austrian scene. Through his past Christian Fuchs is friends with a network of musicians. Like the debut album „Sad Moon Rising“, „Tropical Gothic“ was created free of rigid band structures with Austrian guest singers from different generations, but also international names.
