Splendid

Hello everyone! It’s been quite a hectic few weeks in camp Belly gearing up for the release of our debut album By Limbo Lake.

Check out part 3 of our video diary to get some glimpses into the recording of the album. Stay tuned for more of these, we love making them and hope you enjoy watching!

Trans Ending will be available on iTunes on the 6th of August - check out the stills below from the film clip which was shot last week. (Caravans, rain…sounds like splendour!)

By Limbo Lake Tour


That’s right, it’s time to head back out on the road with our soon to be released album. We love touring, it’s the best part of the whole puzzle, and we can’t wait to get back on (or in) the wagon!! (quite literally too, we have a band wagon…)

Tour dates SOON!

As mentioned, Steph, Eddie and myself (Sean) were lucky enough to head up to Splendour over the weekend.

Aside from the first day when heavy rain threatened to wash our tents away the weather was indeed splendid, here are some of our highlights:

- Yeasayer: Amazing set, closed with ambling alp. One of the most unique bands floating around.
- Foals – Mad dash from yeasayer ment me and Ed missed half the set, but the mix-up was jumping mad by the time we got there.
- Eddie’s caravan: think Dr. Parnassus but more puppets and sausages.
- Broken Social Scene: What can I say, new stuff was brilliant, Kevin Drew’s final quote before busting into the final burst of Meet me in the basement “I know you’ve got an election coming up…make sure your country sounds like this…..”. If only it could!
- Mei Goreng noodles….mmmm
- Midlake (especially the drummer’s insanely amazing builds/breaks in every time permutation under the sun!!)
- The baby with the earmuffs….starting em out early cant hurt right??
- The general lack of dickheads, maybe they went south for the winter….
- The Pixies stand and deliver ‘cause our songs are so damn good we don’t have try too much’ style.
- Florence and the Machine…..what - a - voice!!!!
- John Steel Singers and Jonathen Boulet – great aussie bands representing in style, two killer sets that had people talking….
- people loosing their thongs in the mud.

Despite the missed flights home (due to one hell of a delay) it was all worth it, very inspiring, till next time!

new news

evening,

things have picked up at a rapid pace for us all lately!

First & foremost, it's been stated previously but our ALBUM RELEASE DATE IS AUGUST 20, 2010!!!!!

sorry to 'shout' haha but we are over the moon that we're almost a month away from giving the world our baby, our debut..
'By Limbo Lake' was recorded by Wayne Conolly in Sydney of May/June of last year & ever since we have been eager to release & now will be in stores out through Albert Music - who we are forever grateful to.

Videos, a new single, album art & much much more will be coming your way in the coming weeks, as well as the announcement of our album tour!

As of today we also got word that our latest single 'Young Cubs" was chosen as Single of the Week on itunes Australia!! To grab the free download follow this link..AVAILABLE FOR THE REST OF THIS WEEK -> YOUNG CUBS - ITUNES - SOTW

Other than that we're practicing a fair bit, ie in an hours time, and Trent's just got back from Europe so we're all extremely jealous & a few shades lighter than him..

talk soon internet! k

one in europe, five in winter

hey all, just a quick update for ye.. Trent's currently in Italy and Germany for the remainder of June so we're all just writing some new material before his return and we'll scoot off to a country house somewhere to make songs of them in July!

We have an official release date for our album 'By Limbo Lake' - AUGUST 20! Put that in your little black book..

Antony and I stayed up last night to watch the socceroos at the world cup and boy was it not worth it. Very glad now I ditched the idea of wearing the shirt and scarf combo. And right now I've just recalled I wrote a song on the piano at about 3am which I'd better go and salvage now before it goes missing in time..

I shall leave you with this video of the ultimate cheer up chimpanzee.. au revoir, kg.
