Details:
Beloved Binge went to the courthouse following a soy-White Russian-inspired marriage proposal from Rob Beloved. The band formed in Seattle in 2003, relocating to Durham, N.C. late in 2005 to be closer to Greece and for ease of East coast touring.

The two members have quite different styles. Eleni Bingeâs songs are infused with a hint of old Greek mountain village uprising; Rob Beloved was once told by Ms. Bingeâs Greek uncle: âYour songs are too depressing.â Together they play rubble pop rooted in a punk pot.

Before Beloved Binge:
Eleni grew up around classical musicians singing x-mas music harmonies with her mother on long trips to California. According to her mother, she sang âFrère Jacquesâ at age 3. On Dad-Day Sundays she listened to old Greek songs in a van played from an ash-covered tape recorder.
Rob picked up a guitar at 11 and promptly learned every Metallica song available. He grew up listening to the Beatles and the Doors, which explains his uncanny ability to sing âRiders in the Stormâ at karaoke bars.

About the album, Other Places:
Other Places was recorded at Zero Return Studios in Atlanta, GA. An analog recording was sought to better capture the warmth and simplicity of their sound. Their engineer was such an analog-enthusiast that the computer in the console booth had to be removed before he arrived to avoid disturbing him. Other Places is an amalgamation of songs written during Beloved Bingeâs transformation from one lifestyle to another.

Community:
Beloved Binge is motivated by those willing to strip down to nothing and flash them whatâs inside. They also want to help reduce suffering brought on by modern agriculture.

Tour:
Beloved Binge will be on tour from August â October 2006 in the US and Europe in support of their new release Other Places.

* "This CD is totally wacky in a good way. Its completely different then anything going on in the Seattle scene right now. Its great and fun to listen to with witty and sometimes political and dare I say philosophical lyrics. Thereâs always whistling and various instruments that are out of the standard drums, guitar, bass though those are present." --Artsy Noise: www.artsynoise.com

* âEnter Beloved Binge, a Seattle three piece (who at times sound like several more pieces) In the dish they serve up youâll find some Firehouse, Pixies, Violent Femmes, and some quirkiness thatâs all their own...Happy I am to report that, indeed, Beloved Binge bring the rock.â --Editor, Herbivore Magazine: www.herbivoremagazine.com
