About Me

LIVE ON W.N.Y.U-------http://wnyu.org/2008-02-11_newafternoonshow" conspiracy of eyes" live at the Tunnels- Aberdeen, Scotland Tryptych festival. by "trippinflags" april of '08 Pete Townsend on drums along with Mr. Bell and Mr. Huemann also on youtube is," Hell or high water" live at "the Rose of England/ Nottingham, GB- april of '08Nathan Bell and Dave Heumann first started playing music togther sometime after the start of '99 and definitely before the end of '01. It was soon apparent that they'd hit upon a winning combination - they found an unusual synergy of writing styles that has enabled them, at times, to compose a whole album's worth of songs together in the course of a leisurely afternoon. The style of music that they found themselves playing defies categorization, but has been described by listeners as containing aspects of minimalism, pre-war american blues/folk, and middle eastern and african musics. Throughout the past two years, Human Bell has played shows with: the Silver Jews, Bonnie Prince Billy, Joe Lally (ex- Fugazi), Endless Boogie, Warmer Milks, Aminadab, Sir Richard Bishop, Jackie-O MF, Autumn Defense ( members of Wilco), Asa Irons ( Feathers & Witch ), Otto Hauser ( Espers ), and Tara Jane O'Neil.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
