The Belfry's started with the talents of singer/songwriter Ben Olson, who provides smooth melodic choruses, combined with lyrics of heartfelt intelligence. In the fall of 2005, and after a dozen original songs, Ben decided to call on a couple of old high school friends to set the group "The Belfry's" as a 3 piece band. Still not satisfied with the sound, the group added another old friend on lead/rhythm guitar in early 2007.
Yo Friend! Bouch from Dante's Lounge here. I wanted to let you know that we just posted two songs from our new album entitled "TRANSPARENT SCARS" on our music player. When ya get a chance, give these trax a spin and check out the new merch on our website at www.danteslounge.com Let us know what ya think. Hope to cya at some shows this summer.
LAST SHOW under the watch of Leroy - AND it's a potluck. AND it's a Sunday so no excuses that other stuff is going on... see you in the afternoon, 4/19, to celebrate the coming new year on 4-20.
Potluck, bring a dish to share or at least enough for yourself - we'll have the grill going - and don't worry about doubling up or bringing extra - last fall's potluck was some awesome food...we'll be ready for the potluck by 5pm....
then live music in planet supply junk/antique store's original-music-only venue: Swenson Bros. from Minnesota the rest are (or were) local delights - Immoral Support, Urine, Juggernauts, perhaps some Shiny N' Dirty and probably more...
Oh, and you might want to buy some of that lovely junk - what yuppies call junk and more interesting people call nostalgia, or useful recycled/used items, or items to create art with....
see you there, UNDER the post office, St. Croix Falls, WI
Just wanted to say hello Ben and Gang. Hope all is well, hopefully I will get to see a show when I come home to visit from colorado in January:) Keep up the awesome work love you guys:)
Pretty sure the lead singers family should be before people like Topher, and the Dallas House? WOW I bet I can guess who is in charge of this site? Is it Skow maybe? Anyways I love the Belfrys they are awesome!!!!
Great time on Friday guys! Really appreciate all the help. You guys did an excellent job. Worked our perfect for us. Thanks again for all the help & please be in touch, we'll try to line up more shows with y'all again!
I'm hoping to come up on Friday night. Is Kari going? I need someone to dance with and take my frustrations away things just aren't good right now, a night on the town with you guys just may be the cure.
It was a pleasure to play with you guys on Sun!! You sounded great as usual!!!!!!! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and I hope 2008 brings you great things!!
