Ambulette: The Lottery (Plus The 'Bella Lea' Demos)

TREON234
Ambulette formed during the summer of 2004 and originally called themselves Bella Lea. Maura Davis had toured with Stephen Howard and Ryan Rapsys during Denali's last tour and began exchanging tapes back and forth between her hometown of Richmond, Virginia and Chicago, where Howard and Rapsys were based. Matt Clark, who’d played with Howard in Pinebender, joined later that year. The band only released one E.P. before they broke up in 2007.

Notes:
Although Ambulette never released a full album there were a number of demos (known as the 'Bella Lea' Demos) in circulation for a number of years that are difficult to come by these days. I was able to find five of them at a decent bitrate and remaster them in order to create a full ten track album of sorts. The download also contains the original mp3s plus six more demo tracks at a lower quality.
