Bio
After intensive touring with Joy Division tribute band ‘Closer To Curtis’ in 2008 and 2009 and the release of his Americana solo album “Heartland Revisited” in 2008, Erny Green decided to pick up the electric guitar again and form a new band. Together with soul mates Walter Wilhelm (bass) and Chris van der Meer (drums), both playing and recording with Erny in “Polgate” between 2000 en 2005, they started of as a trio. They were soon accompanied by keyboard player Thijs Heij
The band started looking for a new approach to the new songs and Thijs seemed to be the perfect eccentric element to the sound. Belly Says was born.
After a year of rehearsing, arranging en recording demo’s, there’s a new, nameless album which release is due in November 2010.
They approached Henk Koorn (Hallo Venray) as their producer for his pure recording style. His old fashioned, thick and analogue sound showed the right direction of how to record the new material. They laid down the tracks in a mainly live setup.
With the same urgency & melancholy as heard in Erny’s earlier works, but now in an electric setup and more up tempo, the result is a classic ‘Indie’ album that reminds us of bands as Wilco or Arcade Fire.
Containing that remarkable feel of anger to the tracks -death, pain, lost love- also Bob Dylan is never far away.
