B-sides with various bassists before replacing him with Gail Greenwood in early 1993, after the release of their debut.
Star, the band's debut album, was released in early 1993 and immediately became an
alternative hit, selling more than all the previous Muses and Breeders releases
combined. "Feed the Tree," the first single from the album became a hit and the group
embarked on a succesful tour that ran throughout 1993. Several other alternative radio
hits followed, including "Slow Dog" and "Gepetto."
Belly returned in 1995 with King, their first album recorded with Greenwood. King failed
to meet the high expectaions raised by Star. "Now They'll Sleep" became a moderate hit
on alternative radio, as did "Superconnected," but the album didn't sell in numbers
comparable to Star, slipping out of the charts two months after its release.
