I've had a crush on Tanya Donelly for more than 20 years ever since I first heard her voice with the Throwing Muses. I kick myself for never seeing Belly in concert.
From what I understand, they simply stopped playing together, although Tanya Donelly has persued a solo career with various other musicians. I'd like to think that one day they will tour once again, but I've been told by certain sources that the likelihood of this is slim. We do however have our memories of them, and that will have to suffice for now. I just adore the music that they made together. Furthermore, I have yet to hear anything like it since I first saw them when I was 21.
i first heard this song on a tv show called homocide: life on the street back in'95, I've been trying to find out who it was ever since! this song just exploded in my head, such a beautiful voice!
WOW. They're AWESOME!!!! I'm 16 and just found them.... Why is it that some talented amazing bands don't get their "Big break"?!?! It REALLY gets me because the female singer's doing more than just stand there with a friggin tambourine and miniskirt and knows what she's doing!! Sometimes I feel like female musicians need to do everything 2x as good as guys to get noticed for the right reasons. Bullcrap. I'm definitely a fan of this sound. Glad I found them!!
A+ I was so lucky to have been exposed to the likes of Belly as a preteen and teenager. Only 5 years later was the popular music such crap. Love love love Belly!
Amen to every word you said. I just this minuteleft a comment on another Belly video about how great a guitar player Gorman is cause I hadn't seen any other comments to that effect. He was a huge influence on my guitar playing. They just had great tunes.
I was a big fan of this band in the early ninties. The Star album was a masterpiece in my opinion, and they were fantastic live. I believe they even hosted an episode of 120 minutes on Mtv among many other appearances. I loved belly's covers of Jimmy Hendrix and Tom Jones. I was a little sad when the band disappeared from the music scene. As a guitar player myself, I was also very impressed by Tom Gorman (check Verbal Assault for more Gorman). Star is the record I always wanted to make!
@ChrisMarie93 Belly recorded 2 studio albums, "Star" and "King" before they broke up. Tanya Donelly went on do solo work and Gail joined L7. The Gorman brothers went on to do artistic work in other media.
Belly had quite the "big break," actually... Tanya was already well-known for being in Throwing Muses and The Breeders, and they had a huge radio hit with "Feed The Tree" and a hit first record. Their second record just didn't resonate with people for some reason. But I mean, look at the size of that crowd jumping up and down to them.
Oh... incredible song, i really love belly. It's a sadness that have been separated ... Tanya is really a lesbian? I'm very confused, many say that if, as many say they do not
Her voice should be a national treasure!
True dat! T is the best!
Belly was a band like no other. I love these tunes that start mellow, and just suddenly explode. Like Seal My Fate. Just amazing.
I couldn't agree more with you. I always say that Belly was one of the most underrated bands of the grunge era.

Gosh I so wish I could have seen them live. This is one of my all time favourite albums. I used to play it over and over.

Oh... incredible song, i really love belly. It's a sadness that have been separated ... Tanya is really a lesbian? I'm very confused, many say that if, as many say they do not
I believe she's married and has at least one daughter.
no there's anything wrong with being a lesbian, but both Tanya and Gail are married to men
Jeez. 1 person is a twat and a half. What is there not to like about this?
