I got tired of the last bio, and will post a new one after the tour.
He's a succinct one: Formed in 1998 as GAT-384. Released two tapes and did 3 or four shows before changing the name to Belltonesuicide officially in summer 1999.
In 2000 recorded at Larry's Bar & Grill, in Branford, CT with Gerard Gerard. Most of those recordings came out on a cassette released by Crucial Blast in 2001. Around that time, I released a split/collaboration CDR with Abortus Fever and another CDR called "Fight For Silence."
2002 was when I met the Breaking World Records folks, and talked them into releasing "Shastokovitch is The Devil" in 2003.
In 2003 played a bunch of shows around the area, and one in Kentucky. First tour=failed.
In 2004 and 2005, kept gigging up and down the Pioneer Valley. Put out a bunch of CDRs and one tape. Was very bad at networking. Mostly due to college and not having money.
In 2006, I put out 4 CDRs to start off the year, then just gigged once a month or so, usually in Bridgeport at NEST.
In 2007, got serious again once I started having more money and time since I wasn't taking classes.
Go hooked up with The Ear The Eye The Arm (old friends from the Old Store/Flywheel days) who offered to take Brett and I on a three hour, I mean week, tour.
And that is how we landed on Gilligan's Island.
