Ciao Bello
About
Ciao Bella is a Cleveland-based quartet known for their unique blend of demented lounge and jazz-influenced rock. The band features a distinctive lineup of bass, drums, and piano, creating a sound that is both dark and debonair. Their music is characterized by slinking drum riffs, smoked-out piano melodies, and jazzy bass grooves, often accompanied by moping tales of vampires, betrayal, and big-city blues. Frontman Richard A. Fisher II delivers sullen ballads reminiscent of Elvis Costello, with occasional bouts of theatricality akin to Screaming Jay Hawkins. Their debut full-length album, 'Down,' showcases this sinister lounge aesthetic, featuring tracks like 'Andy Warhol's Dracula' and 'Knock Knock.'
