Belly at The Lowell Summer Music Series – LAST SHOW
September 15 @ 7:30 pm
Bring your lawn chairs and blankets and come enjoy the 34th year of The Lowell Summer Music Series presenting live music in beautiful, tree-lined Boarding House Park, located in the Lowell National Historical Park!
Belly w/ Special Guest: The Parkington Sisters
The dream-rock band Belly blazed a bright trail in the ’90s, releasing two albums full of taut, yet wondrous music that was memorable for its rumbling bass lines and insistent drumming as it was for its glittering riffs and airy vocals. Their 2018 release Dove, which was recorded with friend of the band Paul Q. Kolderie, places Belly back on that trail, bridging the gaps between reverbed-out bliss and spaghetti-western drone and muscular, hook-forward pop.
Belly came together in 1991, when vocalist-guitarist Tanya Donelly (Throwing Muses, The Breeders) began playing with brothers (and fellow Rhode Islanders) Tom (guitar) and Chris (drums) Gorman, as well as bassist Fred Abong. He left before the band’s 1993 debut Star came out, and Gail Greenwood, then playing around Providence, joined. Star was a hit with critics and listeners alike, spawning the alt-radio and MTV staple “Feed the Tree.” The band toured extensively behind the gold-certified album, touring with the likes of Radiohead, the Cranberries, and Pavement and playing a show at the Hippodrome in Paris where they opened for U2 and the Velvet Underground.
