The most authentic covers of AC/DC's best hits from early Bon Scott to the latest Brian Johnson.This is a no bull, non dress up band that come from the same school of rock as AC/DC. People say "I can't believe it's not AC/DC" - We don't pretend to be them, we just play their music with respect, Hell’s Bells
Awesome night folks. Thanks to all that came down and rocked with us. Love junkies and WFA were amazing. It was great to see so many familiar faces from the old days - back when we were playing in original bands at that venue. Such a cool venue. We salute you.
Busselton Espy Hotel June 25th This was our fourth visit to the beautiful pub and as usual it was an awesome show with awesome people.

Hi folks, here is the News from the Highway to Hells Bells
Dirty Deeds done dirt cheap
HELLS BELLS has been busy rockin’ the Pilbara with killer shows at Dampier Mermaid Hotel and Last Chance Tavern, South Hedland on the 11th and 12th June – respectively hooking up with Mick Parker and Amber Nichols - who put on awesome supports.
Good ole Dave Rockwest from has been supplying the thunder and reached 130db (that’s twice as loud as a jumbo jet on take off) of crystal clear oomphness – if that’s a word, with the appreciative crowd totally soaking it up at the sold out Last Chance show.
I must say we were so well looked after at both shows we felt like spoilt rock stars. On ya Crispy at the Last Chance for the awesome meals dude. Back at the CWA house the one liners between Glenn, Dave and Wayno were firing faster than US Forces friendly fire.
We’ll be heading back up this Friday 18th June for a Kimberley Kids Charity show, catching up with Mick and Amber again at the Broome Rec Centre for an outdoor concert – with Dave, but not as loud as it’s a family concert from 5 - 9pm.
Busso
The week after that on Friday 25thJune we’ll be heading down South to the especially nice Espy Hotel in Busselton. Here’s a thought – weekend stay at a nearby winery, how good would that be!
Having played there already 3 times before, we are really looking forward to doing this show with the new guy Wayno.
Fremantle
The absolutely marvelous Mojo’s Bar will be the place to be on Friday 16 July for a slice of Rock n Roll Heaven with The Love Junkies and Waiting For Andy in salubrious support playing their own brand of rockin bluesy originals.
Cover bands never play there and we would like to think that it’s our original band leanings that got us in there. Anyway it’s an awesome venue that will provide a very intimate gig with an arse-kickin PA and tropical beer garden. Tickets are limited and are available online at www.heatseeker.com.au Get ‘em while they’re there.
RIP Steve Bartels 01/06/2010 20 gigs with HELLS BELLS more than 25 years as a hell raiser We salute you mate! Hells Bells would like to extend our sincere condolances to all Steve's family and friends in this difficult and sad time. Check out the fun times we had together click Stevo's salute page

Big thanks to the other musos and roadies who also donated their time - and especially Steve Wills who donated his production fee of $1500 back into the appeal. Making a grand total of $6,500 donated to the Toodyay Bushfire appeal Cheers to the Hells Girls crew for a crazy time and heaps of laughs and to all that came from miles away.
Hope this helps fire victims - in at least a small way, to getting back to some kind of normallity.
Sat 30th Jan 2010 City of Gosnells Summer Series Family Concert Centennial Pioneer Park, Federation Parade, Gosnells. 6 - 9pm
Wow! Our first gig for 2010 was an absolute doozie.
Under a blue moon and in front of a crowd of around 500 people – made up of three generations, Hells Bells, Convict X and the Mighty Quinn kicked of the City of Gosnells’ Summer Series of concerts in the lush surrounds of the Gozzy Amphitheatre with a bang!
If you weren’t there you missed something magically special.
Not only did Convict X give us a run for our money (honey) but little 4yo Quinn stole the show (and our hearts) with his stage antics and plastic guitar.
Good on ya Gozzy – oi oi oi.
DONNYBROOK, DEC 12th
HELLS BELLS them country peps - they know how to put on a show.
Priory Resort Hotel, Dongara - Blessing of the fleet - Nov '09
"Thunder thunder lighting wot a night was had at the priory lodge ty guys for coming again once again we had an awesome time and you guys i must say get better all the time tc cheeeeers to u all and ty" - guestbook message
To all those folks who rocked on up to the Rock Inne Tavern last Friday night - 16th Oct, cheers for sharing an awesome night with us.
The band concluded that it was one of our best shows, and with special guest Haylee jumpin’ up to sing High Voltage (first time I saw her was when she sang it solo at just 16 yrs old at Gozzy Rock) it just made it more special.
And of course what show wouldn’t be complete without our mascot young Davey “Angus” putting on a show for the crowd….well, someone’s gotta do it – dress up that is. Onya Dave!
Till next time – at the mighty Westdale Rock – next Saturday, Cheers and salute.
In the meantime check out the first batch of pics with more to come at -Rockinne16oct

Next The Osboiz rocked with their good ole Dad, Lunchbox All-Stars showed why they are all stars, & Hells Bells pre-tuned from last night delivered a blistering set to a multi-generational crowd. Yee ha! ManglesBayJul09 ROCK INNE TAVERN Fri 10th July The good old Rock Inne once again came alive with some awesome people - we salute you all. Mick Parker turned up with his guitar and was soon ushered up on stage to welcome the 150 or so early birds before the dynamic duo – Mitch & Lewis gave us what may have been their finest set. Hells Bells played their tightest set yet with a few golden Bon oldies - much to the approval of the loyal Accadacca fans
