Bumblebeez To Host London Art Exhibition

You'll soon be hearing a lot more of Australia's noise-siblings The Bumblebeez, as their debut James Ford-produced album Prince Umberto & The Sister Of Ill is just around the corner (due on April 7th - read more details on that LP here).
Now the band are also planning to showcase their visual side, by running an art show at Goodhood in Hoxton, London (more info can be found here: Goodhood.co.uk)
Beginning tomorrow (a private viewing on Thursday March 27th), the exhibition will run generally from March 28th-30th and will "present a detailed view at the world behind the music, as seen by band member Chris Colonna aka Prince Umberto", according to the press blurb.
This isn't the first art-related work from Colonna, who studied at the Pratt Institute in New York, and worked on various art projects including sound pieces and installations that involved walking into a darkened room with soft music only to be pummelled by a tennis ball machine and gabba.
Chris has created all of the artwork for Bumblebeez release to date, although the forthcoming album sleeve was a collaboration with Jonathan Zawada. The album cover sees a series of sculptures built by Chris around his home town, made out of various pieces of audio equipment and machinery.
