The Chicago Underground, a loft on Chicago Ave run by JIM PFEIFFER in the early 2000s is where many musicians and artists met weekly, and where many bands started. (THE METAPUFFS, DEEP SPACE PILOT, LISA FISHER). Some of these projects are still alive and rocking. BELMONDOS is one of them............................................................................................................................................
It began with Darren, Sophie and Cornelius....
Over the years, we've had the privilege to share our songs with many talented musician friends. RrrTERMAN played drums for a few years. He is now pursuing a really exciting project : BOMBBONE with ED REARDON and BARRY BENNETT (MILKBABY, I.B.O. with visual artist KRISTEN REEVES) ............................................................................................................
In the Fall of 2008, BILL-The Shank-SHANKLIN began playing drums and he still does. ...............................................................
SARAH HOLTSCHLAG joins us sometimes with her eerie saw and wonderful spirit. She plays in LONG GONE MULE with her sister KRISTEN.....
JIM LICKA plays mellotron and glockenspiel on "Manelle", the moog on "Get to the road". He plays in UMBRA AND THE VULCAN SIEGE, with DARREN on drums.

Thanks for the add + the words, There doesnt seem to be any music on your player (or maybe theres merely a ghost in the machine) So I couldnt return the favour of checkin you guys out
Hey. Good times yesterday at Flashpoint. I think everyone agrees you guys were great and I look forward to being able to mix your music. I won't be able to make the darkroom gig, but maybe another gig sometime soon. Stay in touch!
Sorry guys! Been out in Skokie for the past year or so. Not making it into the city as much as I'd like. Do me a favor? ...try and keep me posted as far in advance as possible about shows[you &/or NE-thing else special]. No matter what though we should hangout sometime soon. Before I end up migrating south via freight-train.
