At the age of eighteen, Bell moved to Los Angeles, California, and enrolled at the Guitar Institute of Technology. Soon he became a member of [[Carnival Art]], a fledgling alt rock unit who had already released an indie album in 1989. After Bell joined as the bass player, the group released two more albums, two EPs, and several singles through 1993. Unfortunately, the band had extremely small record sales and were eventually dropped by label [[Beggars Banquet Records|Beggars Banquet]]. | At the age of eighteen, Bell moved to Los Angeles, California, and enrolled at the Guitar Institute of Technology.

He believed it possessed a rare "classic" sound and expressed surprise that songs like that were still being written. | ||
