“Do I have my readers on my head?  How long has that been the case?  Is that from the first set? [shouts from crowd: “just the second!”]  That just leveled me, a little bit, to be honest…”  Tanya Donelly on stage with the recently reformed Belly, pulling her reading glasses off of the top of her head during their blazing show at Great American Music Hall in San Francisco on Friday night, which prompted bass player Gail Greenwood to playfully interject, “this is the only person I know who actually applied for an AARP card…  meanwhile the rest of us will cut that motherfucker up!”  Tanya, acknowledging her father up front and center in the crowd quipped in reply, “I’m an Irish girl… I like my discounts!”  A reflection of the funny and fun-loving vibe between the band (and family) on this quite special tour, with the “dream pop” alternative band back together some 20 years after their break up in the mid-90s.  Not only did they seem to be having more fun than anyone at the sold out show (which is saying a lot), but their performance was truly impeccable, bringing back so many of their great songs and playing them in a way that made them sound better than ever.  With Thomas and Chris Gorman also on stage on guitar and drums, the reunited band also played two new work-in-progress songs, which is a reflection of the status and future of the band, moving forward with new love for one another and what they created together, as well as building on what once was with what might be.  The future is bright for the quartet and their fans.

Belly Tours the U.S. in August and September

Belly-2016-Tour-Concert-Schedule-Dates-Tickets-Tanya-Donnely-FI

One of my favorite 90’s era bands, Belly, has the U.S. leg of their tour underway, running throughout August and September.  Tanya Donnely formed the band back in 1991 with Fred Abong (later replaced by Gail Greenwood) and Thomas and Chris Gorman.  The shows promise old favorites as well as new music.  Certainly a rare chance to experience a band who ended it all way too soon.
