艺人介绍
Following several years in Throwing Muses, as well as a brief detour in the Breeders in 1990, Tanya Donelly formed her own band, Belly, in 1992. With Belly, Donelly expanded her dreamy pop hooks into more concise, catchy songs, as well as harder-edged rock. The bands 1993 debut, Star, became one of the first beneficiaries of the commercialization of alternative rock; it rode to gold status within its first year of release, as Feed the Tree made headway on mainstream pop radio. Despite their strong start, Belly never became genuine stars, and once their 1995 follow-up, King, bombed, Donelly disbanded the group.
Donelly (vocals, guitar) broke away from Throwing Muses in late 1991, forming Belly with fellow ex-Muse Fred Abong (bass), drummer Chris Gorman, and his guitarist brother Tom. Donelly hired Pixies producer Gil Norton to work on the groups debut EP, Slow Dust, which confirmed that her dream pop sensibilities had more hooks than many of her peers. Slow Dust reached number one on the British indie charts in early 1992, and two other EPs followed that year, generating strong word of mouth. Bellys debut album, Star, was released in February of 1993 to strong reviews, and its first single, Feed the Tree, reached the U.K. Top 40, helping the album enter the British charts at number two. Shortly afterward, the single became a crossover hit in the U.S. The band added Gail Greenwood as bassist — Abong left the band during the recording of Star — that spring, and spent the remainder of 1993 on tour, helping send the album to gold status in America.
During 1994, Belly recorded their second album with classic rock producer Glyn Johns. The resulting record, King, was more rock-oriented than its predecessor, partially because of Johns work and partially because of Greenwood, who was a harder rocker than Donelly. King was expected to be Bellys breakthrough into the mainstream, yet was greeted with mixed reviews upon its spring release and quickly fell off the charts. In the wake of its failure, Donelly disbanded Belly in 1996, releasing her first solo EP, Sliding and Diving, at the end of the year. Greenwood joined L7 by the end of the year.

- @dieshad：很好的一只另类摇滚乐队，很有特色，第一张专辑非常棒，每一首歌都好听，而且有15首歌，可以说是质优量足，让人大呼过瘾的优质专辑。在第一张专辑里展现了多种不同的风格，可能是积久之作吧。但是第二张就不行了，没有突破，冲不破第一张专辑的高度，有好多歌有第一张专辑的影子，我的精选里只留下一首歌，感觉是没有积淀到出成果的时候就被逼着出专辑的，总体来说还是很好听的。喜欢可以去我的精选集里听一下。 听了最新的《Sleepless Nights》感觉彻底堕落了，从《king》就开始堕落了，彻底走出另类走人主流，上耳快，很快就觉得好听，但是完全没有了震撼心灵的力量！《star》真的是一闪即逝，从King这个名字开始就落入了世俗，pitty... 来我的精选集听吧，进入我的精选集的条件很苛刻，我的原则是只有实在舍不得删掉的才留下来，我不是为了赚积分，很多人的精选里有很多首歌，我的精选里基本都很少歌的，可以算是精选中的精选，只给知音。。。 http://www.xiami.com/song/showcollect/id/10476241
