Lovitt to put out next Del Cielo record

Lovitt Records is proud to welcome Washington, D.C.'s own Del Cielo to the
label roster. We are thrilled to be working such a vibrant, conscientious,
and earnest band. They will be recording their Lovitt
full-length in October 2004 to be released in January 2005.You can click below for the label press release.

Del Cielo formed in January 2001 after bassist Basla Andolsun
introduced guitarist Andrea Lisi and drummer Katy Otto to each other.
Andolsun had been playing in projects with each. After a few quick
months of writing and rehearsing songs, their first show was in
Richmond, Virginia, on May 10, 2001. Del Cielo's first release, a
split 7" with the now defunct Denver band, Sin Desires Marie, came out
shortly after on Ed Walters Records based out of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania.

In summer 2002, after some small tours and numerous local and regional
shows, Del Cielo recorded its first full-length entitled Wish and Wait
at Inner Ear Studios outside Washington, D.C., with Chad Clark (Smart
Went Crazy, Beauty Pill). The full-length was released April 2003 on
Eyeball Records (CD) and Golden Brown/Exotic Fever (LP). In summer of
2003, the band embarked on an extensive six-and-a-half week national
tour to support the release of Wish and Wait.

They also released a second split 7" with the defunct Kill the Man Who
Questions, a political punk band from Philadelphia that has since
become good friends with Del Cielo.

Del Cielo is a self-booked band with a strong interest in community,
both in supporting other bands and friends and in playing benefits,
rallies, and other gatherings related to social change. They have
participated in the Empower Program's Girls' Voices Conference for 200
teenage girls, Ladyfest D.C., Ladyfest Philly, Ladyfest South,
Pointless Fest in Philadelphia, numerous Take Back the Night and Rock
for Choice events, and a host of other festivals. The individual
members are also busy: Andolsun plays in Dischord Records' Beauty
Pill, Lisi has contributed solo songs to various benefit projects, and
Otto runs Exotic Fever Records.

The band has performed and toured with such notable acts as Rainer
Maria, Q and Not U, Mates of State, Against Me!, Decahedron, Kill the
Man Who Questions, The Sound of Failure, Light the Fuse and Run, 1905,
and Crispus Attucks. Del Cielo plans to tour extensively in support of their
Lovitt debut.
