Mid-Ohio indie rock outfit BEL AUBURN will be playing at Skully's Music Diner (on High St., Columbus, OH) at 10 PM on Wednesday September 1st.

The first one hundred in the door will receive a free limited run preview disk from the band's new full length album <i>Cathedrals</i>.

Here's what reviewer's are saying about BEL AUBURN:

<i>Bel Auburn's music is so wonderfully moody and atmospheric--and then the hooks really grab you!   Lord knows I hear a lot of great music, but this is one disc I can't stop listening to.</i>
<br>--Micah Solomon, President an CEO, Oasis CD Manufacturing

<i>Undoubtedly, "Cathedrals" by Bel Auburn is the most beautiful album I’ve heard in ages. It is neither pretty nor gorgeous. It is simply devastatingly beautiful. Bel Auburn is a classic rock band that’s been enchanted . . . Their genuineness touches you. "Cathedrals" exhibits Bel Auburn’s commendable musicianship, earnest effort and passionate originality that left me overcome with awe.</i>

<i>These ten songs certainly aren't stylistically groundbreaking, or even trendsetting, but they are sophisticated, whimsical and, most of all, earnest . . . [they] will woo your girlfriend right out of her panties.  And in this Bel Auburn is remarkably successful.  "Cathedrals" seeps at the edges with emotion.  No doubt for some, this will constitute an unpardonable turnoff, but at what National Indie Convention did earnestness become a no-no, anyway?</i>
<br>--R.S. Ross, Stylus Magazine

<i>This group says it wants to "find its song." Well, it has found it. In
"Cathedrals" Bel Auburn has given voice to architecture, sound to longing,
and hit upon what all art strives to discover : its own way of expressing
the connection between heart and light. This is poetry. It lifts you up.</i>
<br>--Margaret Visser, international best-selling author of The Geometry of Love

<i>"Cathedrals" is an excellent blend of music, lyrics, art, and creative writing. Bel Auburn has set an archetype to follow.</i>
<br>--Chris Reynolds, The Village Buzz

This is a really good album. They sent me a copy out of the blue and I was really impressed. Also, the disc come with a booklet with ten short stories as well, so you can get you lit on.

Anybody know what other bands are playing this show? Skully's website still lists "Belle Auburn w/ special guest" (note: it's Bel Aubum NOT Belle Auburn).

Show is tonight. Don't know what time things are kicking off or what the order of bands is.

I know it's a Wednesday night but I would highly recommend coming out tonight, especially if you are in a band (I'm looking at you Miranda Sound, Tiara, Kopaz, Stepford Five, The Whiles). Bel Auburn would like to start playing Columbus more often and would love to find a few like-minded bands to hook up.

Chip, Mr. Duffy: Good seein' you both tonight. Thanks a lot for coming out. Also, thanks to everyone else who showed up and yelled. Bel Auburn is a big fan of yellers.
