Belly - Gepetto (Official Video) 

Hell yeah - I live in the south but would pop up to Sheffield at weekends as often as I could. Saturday nights, a few top bands followed by an "indie disco", great times

@@hoagy_ytfc that was it! Yeah! We were probably in there at the same time.

💯

I agree! I love this whole album - it’s really good. ❤❤

They got a lot of airplay on local (RI and MA) alternative stations in the '90's when they really started taking off. I used to hear them on all the time on 95.5 WBRU out of Providence.

@@WHJeffB I don’t recall any of their music besides this song being a hit. Maybe I should check out the album it was on one of these days.

@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Oh, Feed The Tree was easily their biggest hit. It was the most widely played song.

Rick and Morty has changed that somewhat

People are stupid

I just recently rediscovered them. I remember back in the day.

@@AshGreen359 Me too!! I used to always listen to them while I was getting ready for school.

Nathan Jacobson Well they did, in a way. They were packaged and promoted by U.K. label 4AD, who had, by this time, been bought out. 4AD had already broken Pixies and Throwing Muses, who were only picked up by US college radio stations at home because they were plugged by 4AD from across the pond and licensed to US majors and marketed as “Indie”. The album was pushed hard in the UK, Europe and beyond and they hit The top ten in numerous territories including No.2 in the British album charts. Indie acts and labels are still in the business of making money. You cannot underestimate the power of UK independent labels in selling US groups back to their home nation who would otherwise never have broken through. It was a pattern that started with Jimi Hendrix, who was picked up by Chas Chandler and brought to London to be road-tested for the home and global markets. Even Nirvana used rhe UK’s “indie” circuit, network, press radio and marketing methods to help them break through back home. Indie acts don’t just rise up from the ground fully formed, they’re as carefully packaged as any boy band, if anything, more carefully to protect their credibility.

They had a lot of bad songs, but being biased will do that... no band ever has ever made a great song on every single album of theirs

@@miked3168 err... Stone Roses first album!

@@indyrichwolf2261 the rise and fall of Ziggy stardust Bowie maybe too.

she was in the breeders for their first show middle east upstairs maybe 40 people there

Can I just say, she probably wouldn't want that. Lol

The grunge fad trampled a lot of really great music.

Ha yes!

"Nevermind" by Nirvana is the other one with no skips for me

Hottest drummer ever!

I have no doubt that Gail is a very talented bassist, but she just doesn't seem to fit the vibe of this band. She's like a hard rock bassist that got lost on the way to the show.

You see... Even six years later, I sit here at home in Germany and totally wonder the same 😉🌻🌞

I don't know

Grunge killed music.

One of the most beautiful and talented women to emerge during 90s rock and there was a ton of them.

Every day is a good day, above ground❤

80s/90s

Is XTC still alive??

Same here! STAR will always be one of my favorite albums! ❤

It was a great time to be in your mid-20's too...

Kick ass belly

I'm also excited to see them live and never thought I would!! By the time I could make decisions about same (driving, etc) they were no longer together!! I'm seeing them in 5 days!!

Seriously thinking about getting rid to see them in October!!! Geez I was a freshman in high school when this came out!!

As a Brit? They were bigger quicker here than they were the States

Welcome! There's more too, equally good.

1992, innit! :)

Agree... She's pretty damn cute as a redhead!

Belly and Throwing Muses are fantastic for sure... Kim and Kelly of the Breeders were smart and talented but turned into train wrecks later on. Kristin and Tanya are still kicking it though.

why isnt the bass player in this video?

@@rogerbelger2014 Fred Abong was the original bass player and this is his bass track. He left the band before the video was filmed and Gail Greenwood hadn't joined yet. There's actually another video for Gepetto that has her in it. It's slightly different and tbh I don't remember if they re-recorded it after she joined.

@@themosh54 oh ok, cool. i didn't even know there was another bassist. Thanks for answering

@@rogerbelger2014 No prob, I was a huge fan in the early 90's and I just happened to remember all of that

Was thinking the same: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gQlk8eKdIIA.html

That entire show is a just a brilliant compilation of all the great music I grew up with.
