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.
COMING VERY SOON:
~ "Reissues Volume 1" combines the "Screem Feader," "The Arrival," "Oh, Dmitri, Up Yours," EPs and "Inner Voices" cassette.
~ "Frozen Reign" reissue.

We are all Ulysses’ crewmen. We’ve got wax in our ears and a madman lashed to the mast.
The Situation: Ulysses' Crewmen have mutinied. The captain has been captured and the moral of Homer's tale has been reversed. All the mutineers perished but one, who is now left alone with the hero of all western civilization struggling against obsolete morality and the impossibility of ethical action.
Unplug your ears, release the madness, hear the siren’s song and let yourself be dashed against the rocks!”
