Our journey started in Philadelphia where our music lessons began when our drummer was four, and our lead singer and guitarist was seven. We played great covers around the city with our music school and began writing our own songs a few years later after our lead singer attended a fantastic music camp.

While all this was happening on the east coast, a 12 year old bass player (who was an old family friend) had been playing saxophone and bass for several years, and a seven year old keyboard player was also playing away, separately, in Austin TX.

Last summer the "Philly" 1/2 of the band relocated to Austin and began playing gigs as Rank + File, without realizing that there was already a really really cool (and much much older) band with the same name. A year later we reconnected with the bass player and met our keyboard player at camp and changed our name.

We are an Austin TX based indie rock band of four musicians who are between 9 and 16 years old. We write and perform mostly original songs [but also a few of our favorite covers]. Our past shows include, SXSW, The Maker Faire, The East Side Studio Tour, Jovita's, and private parties. We're even in the documentary Strange Powers: Stephin Merritt and the Magnetic Fields!

Yeah we're kids, but we rock. We are Charlie Belle.
