filmography

 


Arf-Society is proud to announce: 

Adrian Belew is Headliner Zappanale 17

Hi freaks and friends,

it's done! Adrian Belew will be the headliner Zappanale#17.

The vocalist/multi-instrumantalist is a solo artist, a longtime member of King Crimson and The Bears, and a prolific producer and special guest on other recordings. He is equally comfortable with progressive rock/avant-garde rock, pop, jazz, new wave, electronica, industrial and much more.

Belew's big break came in 1977 when Frank Zappa discovered him playing in a cover band in Nashville, Tennessee. Zappa invites him to Los Angeles to audition for his band. He earns the gig and plays on Sheik Yerbouti and he's to hear on following recordings:

Being in the right place at the right time helped Adrian with his next career steps. While on tour with Zappa, Belew meets David Bowie. The musical chameleon was also blown away with Belew's creativity and asks him to join the band. Belew performs on subsequent classic Bowie albums STAGE and LODGER (he would then rejoin his band in 1990 as guitarist and music director). During an earlier Bowie tour Belew met Talking Heads and he performed on their albums REMAIN IN LIGHT and THE NAME OF THIS BAND IS TALKIN HEADS and also joins the on the road.

King Crimson then enters the picture. Founder Robert Fripp was impressed by Belew's work, and Belew joined in 1981. King Crimson, whose debut album IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING, is often hailed as the first "progressive rock" album, went in a new creative direction with Belew on board.

After several years as avalued contributor on other musicians' work, Adrian finally launched his solo career in 1982 with THE LONE RHINO. Subsequent solo albums include TWANG BAR KING, DESIRE CAUGHT BY THE TAIL, MR. MUSIC HEAD, YOUNG LIONS, HERE, and OP ZOP TOO WAH.

Belew's staggering resume includes countless production and/or guest musician credits. For a complete list/discography, visit his official web site, www.adrianbelew.net . In the meantime, here is a partial list not including previously mentioned appearances with: Laurie Anderson, Joan Armatrading, Bela Fleck & The Flecktones, Joe Cocker, Crash Test Dummies, Jars of Clay, Cindy Lauper, nine inch nails, Robert Palmer, Mike Oldfield, Paul Simon and Peter Wolf.

Belew's latest project are the solo albums SIDE ONE, SIDE TWO and SIDE THREE, the first two are already released in january and july 2005. SIDE THREE will follow this april. They are "power-trio" albums featuring Primus bass guitarist Les Claypool and Tool drummer Danney Carey. 


Adrian has been nominated for a Grammy 2006 in the Best Rock Instrumental Performance category for the song, "Beat Box Guitar" from Side One, even so Steve Vai.  This category includes solo, duo
, group, or collaborative performances, without vocals.  Includes Rock, Hard Rock and Metal.  

Singles or Tracks only.  Congratulations, Adrian!!!

     Nominees in the Best Rock Instrumental category: 
 
          Beat Box Guitar - Adrian Belew - Track from: Side One [Sanctuary]
          Birds Of Prey - Stewart Copeland - Track from: Orchestralli [Ponderosa]
          69 Freedom Special - Les Paul & Friends - Track from: American Made World Played [Capitol Records]
          Mercy - Joe Perry - Track from: Joe Perry [Columbia Records]
          Lotus Feet - Steve Vai - Track from: Real Illusions: Reflections [Epic/Red Ink]

For nearly three decades now, Belew has done far more than expand the boundaries of popular music.

The reason is that Adrian never saw any boundaries to begin with.

Adrian Belew warms up his act here for Europe

By Jordan Oakes

SPECIAL TO THE POST-DISPATCH
2006-03-23
Musician Adrian Belew
Will the real Adrian Belew please warm up?

The venerable guitarist, songwriter and now painter will be coming to town with his self-proclaimed power trio.
"We're just doing four warm-up dates, St. Louis being one of them," Belew says.
Then the band will pack up its instruments and head overseas. After a lengthy tour of Europe and Australia, they'll return - revved up - to America: "I want to bring the power trio back to the States."

Belew means that in more ways than one. From the beginning, the musician whose first instrument was the drums has been a self-starter and innovator. And his whimsy-prone ambition has always stayed a step ahead of his fans' expectations.
It's a journey that spans his work with Frank Zappa; his role in reshaping (along with Robert Fripp) King Crimson from a '70s prog-rock artifact to a blueprint for guitar-based avant-garde music; and his Beatles-style pop experiments, alone and with the Bears.
These days, Belew is exploring the live possibilities of the rock trio.
He's divided his recent studio work into three albums to show the different sides of himself.

Last year's "Side One" combined pop songs such as "Ampersand" with the sort of weirder stuff you'd expect from a musician who doesn't so much
caress his guitar as argue with it.

"'Side Two' is a totally different kind of music," Belew says. "It has synthesizers and drum machines - almost like my own version of DJ music."
The upcoming "Side Three," though, will be a feast of leftovers.
"It's a lot of different material that didn't really fit in the other categories," he says.
But Belew is not easy to categorize. He's that rare breed of musician who, like Tom Verlaine and Nils Lofgren, is renowned for his guitar chops but can write a mean song. In particular, he has mixed and matched genres, from pop-rock to avant-garde, with ease - and now an easel.
"I think these days my fans have realized that I multitask," Belew says. "I like to do a lot of different things."
What some fans may not realize is that for the past couple of years, he's been mastering a new kind of task: painting.
Examples of Belew's work, which is decidedly abstract and menacing, can be found on the front of his recent CDs.
"My painting is very much like my music, in that I'm always discovering," says Belew, who's never had a guitar lesson. "I don't know in technical terms how to do something, or what I'm doing. I just discover things. That's the same way I've approached guitar all my life."
In the long arc of his career, Belew has gone from drummer's hide to artist's canvas. But deep down, he's all about the music.
"What I'm doing now is warming up my power trio for Europe and Australia," he says. "I think the date at Blueberry Hill will be a really good one in the sense that we're all anxious to play again. Even though it's a warm-up for Italy, we're going to play our hearts out."

2006/05/31

Adrian Belew has just announced his new power trio -- drummer is Eric Slick, who is a Paul Green School of Rock graduate and All-Star who just came off a month long tour as drummer for Project Object; Adrian's new bass player is Eric's sister Julie Slick, also a graduate of Rock School and a former All-Star.  Both Julie and Eric played at Zappanale 14 (the famous bass and drum solo on Pound for a Brown) and Eric played at Z16.  For details, please visit Adrian Belew's website at www.adrianbelew.net.

ADRIAN'S ELEPHANT BLOG STILL GOING STRONG 
The best feature of Adrian's site is by far, his blog. If you haven't done so already, go read several of the many anecdotes by the numbers, or get the history of a dust particle, or simply get a glimpse into what's going on at StudioBelew. You have a lot of catching up to do.

LOTS OF DOWNLOADS AT STOREBELEW
Every week since February 2007, a new Dust particle has been released and we haven't even gotten started. To see the accumulation of particles thus far, visit: http://www.adrianbelew.net/dust/index.html   It's also a helpful tool in managing your Dust particles by their volumes and numbers. 
 
On behalf of Adrian, thanks for your support and please, travel safely.
