The Belushis

VANCOUVER SWEAT ROCK

About Me

The Belushis were a boozed up rock and roll band from Vancouver, BC. They went through a few different members and a shit tonne of beer. They broke up Christmas 2007. Complete membership is listed to the right. Relationships between most members remain amicable, but unfortunately rock and roll did take it's toll on a few friendships. However, ALL members from the entire history are represented some way here, and without bias. There are a selection of tunes above, taken from both albums, and one unreleased gem. This was recorded in the basement of the original Belushis house, while original singer Shawn Belushi was out of town. The rest of the Belushis were drunk as usual, and vocal duties where pawned off on drummer Evil Drizzle, who very obviously doesn't know the words. While "Bitchin' Hot Solo" was always a mainstay of the live set, the band was never able to capture it properly to tape. This is probably the most coherent version available. We will endevour to update this page over time with what everyone is up to. Here are some links to music some former members are involved with now:www.myspace.com/angerpowerfuryandthefilthwww.myspace.com /chrisjohnsongivelovewww.myspace.com/magicchordsAnd below are some nice things that were said about the band while they lasted...
“...The Belushis play big music with a larger-than-life this-town-ain’t-big-enough-fer-the-both-of-us sound and attitude. Loud, vivid, untouched by human sensitivity…” - MaximumRockNRoll Magazine
“the Belushis are rich in those ineffable qualities—heart, swagger, huge testicles—that make a good rock band great...” - The Georgia Straight
“…Their debut release has the kind of power that could turn a wake into a frat party. And their live show? Well, it's about twice as powerful as that. I guess that means they could turn a wake into an orgiastic, drunken riot/dance off…” - 24Hrs Daily
“…the sweat practically pours out of your speakers and you half expect the band to pass out before the album’s over.” - FFWD Magazine

Bass players are not to be trusted...

   The Golden Goose has begun preparation for some sort of reverse migration, which will see him leaving the nest for good in the summer instead of the winter as any sane bird does.  ...
