Bill Belzer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William Francis Belzer (b. November 05, 1968) is an American musician. He played bass guitar and drums while in High School, first attending Catholic Savior of the World High School Seminary in Kansas City, Kansas under the patronage of the diocese of Kansas City-Saint Joseph in Missouri, and then Rockhurst High School, in Kansas City, Missouri, from which he graduated in 1987.

While at Rockhurst High School he was drummer for a band named Mongol Beach Party, a guitar-based jam-pop band. The band's breakup coincided with Belzer leaving to join Uncle Tupelo as drummer for a stint on their European-American Tour with Michelle Shocked and Taj Mahal in the early 1990’s. When Belzer returned to Kansas City, he joined with Grumpy.

Belzer went on to other bands such as The New Amsterdams and Bill Belzer and the Beauty Operators.
