Bio

Lightning Bells began in a dusty Auckland basement armed with the old family piano, a garage-sale guitar and a brother & sister with distinct voices. Growing up in the conflicted household of an opera-singing mother and Beatles-nut father - Christy and Emily Whelan were drawn to making music from an early age.

In 2011 they finally extended their musical family under the banner Lightning Bells and with the help of an eclectic group of friends they released some well-received demos, a rough ‘n’ ready limited release EP and put on a string of raucous live shows.

Their sound has since evolved and after countless hours working with friends and collaborators Lightning Bells released Chime in March 2014 - showcasing a crafted alt-pop sound and electric live band.

This promises to be just the beginning.
