About this project

====================================================

Update:  We are officially announcing that producer Matt Goldman (Underoath, Copeland, As Cities Burn, Cartel, the Chariot, etc) will be recording our upcoming EP...watch the video for more info.

- First and foremost, thank you for clicking the link that brought you to this page. Its a great honor to be on this site, and in front of so many new people. -

We are Belle Epoque, and we're about to enter the studio to record our 3rd Independent release.  This EP will be a culmination of our 4+ years playing together and 50+ years experience between the five of us.  Our last release Wicked Ones and Thieves was greeted with such great response, that we were just itching to get back in the studio and show you how much we've grown as musicians.  This album is the most pure, inspiring work that we've ever been a part of and we can't wait for YOU to be a part of it too!

Here's How You Can Help:  Listen to our music! It is available on FacebookMyspace, iTunes, and Youtube.  Subscribe to us on Twitter and SPREAD THE WORD! Watch us play a Live show. And, if you really...REALLY want to be a part of this EP, Please view our incentives on the right hand side of this page, find the package that's best for you, and Pledge.  

Where Your Money Goes:  It takes a lot of money to record an album, and sadly, as an independent band we are personally responsible for coming up with all of that money.  Recording Fees, Including studio time, producer and engineering fees.  Mixing and Mastering, to make those recordings sound good in any sound-system, computer speakers, mobile phone, car, etc.  CD Duplication, what's an album without physical copies of the CD?  Promotion, this includes advertisements, posters, and whatever ingenious marketing scheme we can think of.

- Below is a music video for our single "Keeping the Innocent" off of our 2009 Release, Wicked Ones and Thieves -

Thank you for taking the time to view our Kickstarter campaign.  Its so exciting to be a part of something that has helped so many musicians, artists, and entrepreneurs fund the projects that they believe in so much.  If you don't pledge to our campaign, at least give us a chance...a chance to empower you.

Belle Epoque

Has not connected their Facebook account.

Born in the shadows of the Dallas Skyline, Belle Epoque (pronounced Bell Epic), was formed in the summer of 2007. Gaining much attention in the local scene, they independently released two EPs ('Our Bodies' & 'Wicked Ones and Thieves'), which propelled them to reach over 1 Million plays on Myspace within two years and allowed them to tour the US numerous times with National acts such as; Oh, Sleeper, The Chariot, We Came as Romans, Versa Emerge, Spoken, Eyes Set to Kill, and more.

Fearing the decline of 'lighter' heavy music, and lacking financial support, they dropped the band name and the genre completely to collectively pursue other musical endeavors for a short time. Now they have returned with a renewed sense of identity, a more mature outlook on music-writing, and the desire to play music that is truly heartfelt and passion filled.
