It never fails… Every time I write/rehearse/record/release a new album, I tell myself “You don’t have to write anything new for a long while.” But the muse has other plans. Not long after MOOD SWINGS came out last August, my hands decided to run up and down my guitars with new ideas. There was nobodyContinue reading “IT NEVER FAILS…”

After four months since I registered, my membership card from the ISSA has arrived. And on Good Friday? I didn’t think there was mail. I like being wrong once in a while. There’s still time to vote for MOOD SWINGS and the single “Never Be The Sane” on this link: Vote For Bello You canContinue reading “MAIL ON GOOD FRIDAY?”

I love surprises. Sometimes. I hate when someone jumps out of a dark alley to scare me. But this kind of surprise, as you see above, is very welcome. Over the weekend, I received news that the ISSA Songwriters committee nominated my album MOOD SWINGS for Male Album Of The Year, and the single “NeverContinue reading “LOOKS COOL, HUH?”

My schedule has me being pulled in a hundred directions. And I also remember my dad telling me “For the millionth time, stop exaggerating!” Anyway I made this egregious poster so you can all make plans to see me in action, either with my metal trio or with Naked Glory.. I will be chilling thisContinue reading “ACTUALLY SITTING DOWN TODAY”

MOOD SWINGS is seven months old today. I remember when it was born. They grow up so fast… Soon it will want the keys to my car. This album almost didn’t happen for various reasons. Had it not been for Mike Sabatini saying “Send me the songs” last February, the rough demos would have beenContinue reading “THEY GROW UP SO FAST”

Well this is more news than I expected to share but here goes… My song “Never Be The Sane” has been nominated for Best Rock Single Award by One World Music Radio! I did not expect this one at all!! Opened my email yesterday morning and there it was: the certificate that you see above.Continue reading “TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE”

What the hell was I doing in Manhattan alone on a Saturday night? Well, I wasn’t totally alone. My daughter Emma needed a ride to an EDM (electronic dance music) concert last night at Terminal 5. She asked me a few days ago “You think you can take me, since my friend can’t?” I admitContinue reading “ALONE IN MANHATTAN”

“Welcome back, Steve!” I heard that over and over last night, and it was very pleasing to my ears. First show back as Steve Bello at Dingbatz for the F–k Cancer benefit gig to support our friend Irene DeMeo. And let me tell you, it was a blast!! Hit the stage at 8:30, banged outContinue reading ““WELCOME BACK, STEVE!””

We had our final rehearsal today, played eight songs so fierce like they owed us money. And now to put almost 7 months of rehearsals to the test. I feel like I am tied to a rocket. Amazing how things take off (hence the title of the blog) once people see results. My friend JonContinue reading “TIED TO A ROCKET”

I didn’t expect to be this busy, especially in the winter time, but it has been moving rather nicely. I learn to catch my breath in between all the running around. I can’t wait for Spring though. Naked Glory played last Saturday at Garvey’s in Monroe, NJ, as part two of the tribute trifecta forContinue reading “NO REST FOR THE HANDSOME”
