Beulah
By All Music Guide
Beulahs Miles Kurosky and Bill Swan first started off as officemates, working the mail room at a security firm in their native San Francisco in 1994. While having a small dislike for one another, Kurosky and Swan did share a fondness for music. They two put their animosity aside in 1996 and spent the next year and a half mastering a lo-fi, indie rock style and recording songs. This resulted in the release of the A Small Cattle Drive in a Snow Storm 7 in 1997. Anne Mellinger joined the group in time to record the Handsome Western States EP for the celebrated Elephant 6 label that same year. By 1998, Beulahs rotating roster comprised Kurosky, Swan, Steve LaFolette, Pat Noel, Steve St. Cin, Bill Evans, and Ana Pitchon. Tours with Neutral Milk Hotel and Apples in Stereo brought Beulah to the indie forefront in both the U.S. and the U.K. Before the years end, Beulah and eighteen additional musicians came together to record the bands second album. When Your Heartstrings Break, which was issued on Sugar Free to critical acclaim, featured strings, horns, and organs for the some of the bands brightest material. Two years later, The Coast Is Never Clear appeared and marked their first for Velocette. St. Cin and Pitchon departed by the beginning of the new millennium, and drummer Danny Sullivan, bass player Eli Crews, and keyboardist Pat Abernathy completed the Beulah line-up. Yoko, which showcased Kuroskys darkest work to date, arrived in September 2003. It was rumored at the time that Beulah would call it quits if sales didnt fare better than their previous releases combined, however they were quick to squash such gossip. The band moved ahead with successful tour runs through North America and Europe while critics touted Yoko as Beulahs best. Sadly, it wasnt enough for the family men of the band to keep it going. Beulah called it a day with a slew of stateside shows before closing the curtain August 5, 2004 at a free show at New York Citys Battery Park. Their first ever concert DVD A Good Band is Easy to Kill was released the following summer.
