Bio
"...BATZZ in the belfry delivers every bright expectation in the long distance debut of a band, confirming again the richness of the American underground scene and, above all, it demonstrates that old school gothic-rock can still make its followers dream." (Erba della Strega webzine: Review of "Sparks Fly Upward" by Mr. Moonlight) Based in San Francisco, California, Nelson formed BATZZ in the belfry in 2003 in the tradition of old school gothic rock and ethereal. In 2004 the band released a 7-song EP, drawing favorable reviews from the likes of Mick Mercer, Automata Magazine, and Chain D.L.K. An invitation followed from Cold Fusion Music to include BATZZ in the belfry in their 2005 goth/industrial compilation CD "Lunar Eclipse," along with notable bands like The Last Dance and Virgin Black. “Sparks Fly Upward,” their first full-length CD, was released in 2007. Displaying a broader range of styles and arrangements, the record showed the musical progression of the band, while staying true to the goth/darkwave style. It too was well received by the gothic rock press. Later that year, BATZZ in the belfry was included in the 2007 "newcomers" compilation CD from Gothic Magazine, titled "Goth Is What You Make It, Vol.6." In 2008, coverage of the band continued to grow, including features in HM Magazine, Crawling Tunes Magazine and again in Gothic Magazine. "Glow in the Dark" is the third CD by BATZZ in the belfry, released in late 2009. Continuing in their unashamed tradition of old school goth, this latest collection of music is their most ambitious, in terms of song-writing and arrangements. More guitar-heavy than their previous recordings, and more experimental at times, striving to bring more beautiful music to fans of goth and ethereal.
