In brief:
Tanya Donelly and company played a rocking series of sets in Vermont as a part of Rock in Rockingham, the brain child of Tanya's producer Gary Smith. On the last day of the three day music festival, she introduced some new songs to be included in the just finished new album to be released in the Spring of 2004. Accompanying her on the new album will be Dean Fisher (on a multitude of instruments) and Elizabeth Steen (keyboards and vocals).
Tanya also has a children's record project with Chris Toppin. The CD is expected to be released sometime in 2004 as well. The CD features 16 musicians, including Kay Hanley, Robin Vaughn, Blake Hazard and Warren Zanes!
In 2002, Tanya released "Beautysleep", her second solo album. It was a long five year wait, but worth it! Tanya followed up the album with a tour, covering Europe and the US.
Tanya gave birth to Grace Bee Fisher at 5:44 PM on April 13, 1999 in Cambridge, MA! She and Dean devoted the next few years into raising "Gracie" (as nicknamed by her parents), whose confidence and poise are a reflection of their nurture.
She completed touring Australia and New Zealand in March of '98, which completed the "Lovesongs for Underdogs" tour. Tanya's first solo album
"Lovesongs for Underdogs" ( first tentatively titled "Manna from Mars" (Thanks Jenna!) ) was released September 9, 1997 after being original scheduled for a June 17, 1997 release. 4AD (UK) and
Reprise (US) are distributing it. A 7" [BAD 6018] and CD [BAD 6018 CD] "Sliding&DIVING" EP was released November 25, 1996 in the UK. It is available as an import in the US. Another single, "Pretty Deep" was
released on August 18, 1997. "Pretty Deep" is available as two CD's [BAD 7007 and BAD D 7007] and a 7" [AD 7007] with different B-sides. The latest single, "The Bright Light" was released November 24, 1997.
It's available as two CD's [BAD 7007 and BAD D 7012] and a 7" [AD 7012] with different B-sides.

Why did Belly break up?
Mark: Why did you break up the band, what happened there?... Without dwelling on it, but I've gotta ask.
Tanya: Uuurrrmmmmm... we just all...
Mark: Fell out.
Tanya: ...well ya'know, that's what happens to a certain extent, but that wasn't the primary reason... it was just that... er... people wanted to go off and do their own thing....and we'd kinda...I think things run their course at different
times for different bands...and ours was particularly brief.
(Tanya laughs a bit)
Mark: ...right... Are you happier now?
Tanya: Yep!
Mark: Good... alright... you sound it...
Tanya: I mean we're all han... ya'know it's gross, but we all still hang out and talk to each other... so ya'know...
