Throughout the 2000s, Morningbell has developed their own brand of melodic, psychedelic rock, rooting themselves as a well established tradition in the Florida Music Scene. The band has toured the Eastern US and earned themselves a set at Bonnaroo 2008 (named “Best Festival” by Rolling Stone) where they shared the stage with Bela Fleck, Broken Social Scene, and Solomon Burke. The Band has also performed with Starlight Mints (Barsuk), Robert Sledge (Ben Folds Five Bassist), Man Man, Holopaw (Subpop), MAE (Columbia), and Kevin Martin (ex-Candlebox).
The band’s most recent album, “Through the Belly of the Sea,” (released on Orange Records of Gainesville in 2007) has garnered international acclaim and has been featured in MTV’s The Real World Sydney, The Onion, Blender Magazine, Pitchforkmedia.com, and the Washington Post.
All 3 of the band’s full length albums have been ranked in the top 10 albums of their release years (by Gainesvillebands.com and the Gainesville Sun).
Morningbell’s music stands up best behind their captivating live performances. Armed with an arsenal of low budge lighting effects, Morningbell not only causes the stage to erupt with sound, but with their trademarked 100 dollar light show as well.
