The Belle Game is a seven-piece collection of vocals, guitars, brass, family and friends boasting a mixture of orchestral indie-pop and percussive art-rock.
Since returning to their hometown of Vancouver B.C. after spending a year amidst the gurgling noise of the Montreal music scene, The Belle Game have spun their influences into a dynamic live show, placing them on stages alongside Karkwa, Hannah Georgas, Said the Whale, We Are The City, Hey Ocean and Aidan Knight.
On October 1st, The Belle Game released a brand new EP entitled “Sleep to Grow”. The album’s soft, anthemic, whimsy was crafted alongside JC/DC Productions (New Pornographers, Tegan and Sara, Destroyer).
Recently, The Belle Game was participating in this years Peak Performance Project with 20 of BC’s most talented musicians. They’ve begun production on their full-length with John Raham (Be Good Tanyas, Frazey Ford), which is slated for release in early 2012.
"the Belle Game—currently operating as a six-piece—is Western Canada’s answer to indie-pop bands like Broken Social Scene and Arcade Fire. And the outfit is going to reinforce Vancouver’s place on the international map with its latest release, Sleep to Grow."

"Under the strings of incandescent bulbs and the glitter of the mirror ball all seven pieces of The Belle Game's live act gathered together with their back to the wooden walls and the eager audience lining the bar and brick pillars of the cozy basement venue. The musicians smiled as they turned to play what will likely be one of the best live performances I'll see in a while"
