The newly-formed power trio Keneally-Minnemann-Beller is headed off to Germany and Austria for some typically European free-form itinerary madness. The Upcoming Appearances has all the details, as always.

The body of the Dethklok tour's not even cold yet, but Beller's got the end-of-tour road report up right now. The latest BellerBlog throws it all together and looks forward to life after Deth.

MAJOR NEWS: Thanks In Advance, Beller's second solo album, is DONE! Click here and scroll down for all sorts of cool new stuff, including audio and a shot of the cover. And this is just the beginning - expect a major website redesign to show up sometime this summer.

Behold the launch of BBTS: Bryan Beller's Transcription Services. Custom-order transcriptions delivered with flair and panache (or something like that). It's realy simple - just send Bryan an e-mail and let him know BASS part you'd like transcribed from any song under the sun, and he'll quote you the best deal he can.

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.

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

Celebrate the ten-year anniversary of The Life Of Bryan with the latest weighty installment. Grab a cup of coffee and read a three-part novelette about car accidents, trapezes, death and rebirth in Act 44 - Relearning To Fly.

Check out exclusive audio from a rare Bryan Beller live show - the hair-raising "See You Next Tuesday." (Scroll down a bit.)

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
