swankymodes Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 The Beltones are dead. I don't know about any new stuff. I know McFadden did a small project called Everybody Poops (www.myspace.com/billybeltone). I don't think they ever released anything but there are a few tracks on their page. No idea if they are still active or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stefan Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I really liked this band and still have the CDs but never picked up the vinyl. Always thought they should do a split with Canada's KNUCKLEHEAD. Virgil, I could be making stuff up but I think you and I once argued in the Bakamono basement about who was better the BELTONES or the BELLRAYS... and I'm still sticking with the former!

You know i think at one point this was a possibility of happening. I know some of the guys in Knucklehead liked the Beltones, and they were on Far Out for a record.

stefan Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I don't remember/know all the Knucklehead albums, but I liked the Far Out full length (their debut, I think) better than the followup. I loved the mid 90's Far Out stuff! I need to dig up the (post ska) Sam the Butcher LP that came out towards the end, really remember the first track killing it. I'm sure Virgil could come up with some good Tim and Lisa stories once the Friday brews start flowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andywax Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Bill sold me his copy of Cheap Trinkets on red vinyl for next to nothing. I kinda felt bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
706union Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Not up to date, but you get the idea... nice! my old man was available on white (100 made), naming my bullets was available on green (200 i think) , shitty in pink had a tour press out of 250 and a vinyl solution special out of 25. the lp was 200 on red...and i´m not sure but lock and load may have 100 on clear...

zak138 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I have My old Man on white also, and the bottom right hand one is the vinyl solution pressing. I'm still trying to get Cheap Trinkets on Red and the other 2 you mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Admin Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 just finished a yummy barley wine, but I miss Far Out. There are not a ton of stories from my end, but I remember one time when Against All Authority were coming through Denver (when tim played for AAA) and he said that he was about to sign this new band from Minneapolis called Dillinger Four. Then I heard 2 other labels were talking to D4 and then out of the blue Hopeless signed them. Far Out had some killer releases with AAA, Beltones, Sam the Butcher, the Crumbs, and some I can't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
