About the Artist

Belly emerged in the early '90s as a dream-rock band blending taut rhythms, rumbling bass, and shimmering riffs with airy vocals led by Tanya Donelly, a seasoned musician from Throwing Muses and The Breeders. Their debut album 'Star' featured the iconic alt-rock track 'Feed the Tree,' which became an MTV staple and earned them two Grammy nominations. Known for creating a sonic landscape that strikes a balance between reverb-soaked bliss and hook-driven pop, they toured with major acts like Radiohead, U2, and R.E.M., captivating crowds with their immersive live performances. After disbanding in 1996 and each member pursuing solo projects and collaborations, Belly reunited with renewed chemistry, crafting new material via remote collaboration reflecting maturity and inventive arrangements. Their reunion album 'Dove' continues to charm fans with expansive, layered songs that showcase their evolution while maintaining the signature dreamy yet muscular sound fans adore. A standout live moment often recalled is their seamless return to form, instantly rekindling the camaraderie and creative spark as if no time had passed, much to the delight of long-time followers.
