Beller finally exits the cave and blogs about it all for the first time in months: Second solo album Thanks In Advance nearly being done, recent gigs and recording with Mike Keneally and Janet Feder, and more. It's all right here.

The time for waiting is over...DETHKLOK will finally hit the road this summer for the most metal tour ever. Totally brutals detail available in the Upcoming Appearances.

The hugely successful WesFest 3 benefit concert has now been documented in text and pictures at the newly-redesigned Tribute To Wes Wehmiller Website.

Wanna read up on last year? Beller's blog about the 2007 Steve Vai tours exist right here for the U.S. tour and here for the European tour.

You are hereby ordered to go here and buy the new Half Zaftig album Life Like Luster. It's that good. Who's Half Zaftig? Hint - the guitarist was formerly known as Yogi. Also check here for hot Half Zaftig MySpace action.

Steve Vai's newest live DVD Visual Sound Theories, a collaboration with Holland's Metropol Orchestra (and guest Bryan Beller on bass throughout), is on the verge of release. Check out Steve's website for details on ordering this unique musical experience.

Check out the ultimate rock-star picture of Mr. Beller on the front page of Vai.com from the summer '07 European String Theories tour!

Mr. Beller very strongly recommends checking out Kira Small's brand new, slinky, sultry, soul/R&B CD, Love In A Dangerous World. Like, very strongly.

Keneally hardcores rejoice - hat. and Boil That Dust Speck are finally being re-issued on Exowax Recordings! All the pre-order news that's fit to post is over at The Mike Keneally Website.

Behold the launch of BBTS: Bryan Beller's Transcription Services. Custom-order transcriptions delivered with flair and panache (or something like that). The Screed Du Jour (you'll have to scroll down a while at this point) has the details as they exist right now, along with a huge new, link-filled, blog-o-rific update on many topics - including CDBaby's new deal to sell View in a record store near you.

Meet Mike Keneally and Bryan Beller in this very professional five minute video (11MB download), courtesy of DC3 and Lost Coast Live.

Bryan Beller onstage with Steve Vai in Germany, summer 2007

Critics' praise for View

"Just when you thought Beller couldn't possibly be good at another thing, he releases a solo album so good it makes you wonder why he bothered doing anything else…View shows how terrific Beller is as a bassist, but it also establishes his real musical talent as a writer. It's a thrill to witness an artist like Beller find his voice with such a self-assured debut." - Bill Leigh, Bass Player Magazine

"Seven Percent Grade shows that charging fingerstyle fusion is as comfortable for [Beller] as a fine rock riff...and both "Bite" and "See You Next Tuesday" show he can rock with the best....Inventive solo pieces such as "Elate" & "No" show that Beller isn't going to fall into any clichés either. Inventive and creative, View end(s) up as a complete and compelling album, which I'm still enjoying right now." - Adrian Ashton, Bass Guitar Magazine(U.K.)

"Bryan is one of those bass players who just knows how to put the right note in the right place at the right time…monster playing and good vibes."– Michael Manring (solo artist, Attention Deficit)

"A unique blend of solid old school playing with modern sensibility and lots of edge." – Andy West (Dixie Dregs, FWAP)

"Every expectation you may have about this album is going to be blown clear out of the water when you hear it. It's really, really good, unique and intricate and ballsy and beautifully performed." – Mike Keneally
