The band was formed in a Las vegas casino called "Bellagio" (hence the name)2003 By Terry2sips with a little help from his friends while staying at the casino.

once back to London they decided to record a couple of tracks. In one of those tracks they needed 3 rappers so they called upon the services of Freakshow , LNP and 2retz from WWC(check the page out)

Terry2sips met Freakshow there and that was the begining of a crazy ride.

Terry and Freak decided to actually record a few more traxz and that we should gig with this project The Bellagios.

Terry brought the musicians , Bone , Box and Virgo and the sultry voice of Tru-Gem , i brought the rappers LNP and Masta D and myself the Freakshow

2004 was crazy times with recording and playing our first gigs at "Jongleurs in camden at our usual Monthly sunday show.and entering the 2005 "Glastonbury festival Unsigned band of the year" i know big title init!!!We where picked out of of 4000 bands from the whole of the UK to play in front 3 judges one of them being Michael Eavis the creator himself.it was us against 5 other bandswe where first onhardthe quality of the bands was amazingand guess what?!? We wonwas an amazing experienceit was such a break.we where booked to play at Glastonbury the biggest festival in the UK.and winning gave us a bit more profile and got us more gigsat least in the beginingbut that was the end of the first half really.drugs , diferences and bad temperament brougth the band to an halt.i was (freakshow) was drained after 2 crazy years.

so after a few months of recovering i was craving to get back to musicso i decided to restart the band with a new line up(which pissed of a few people, sorry peeps)

2006 was the year and i went in search of 6 new people(LNP stayed)

so i found Socrates(guitar) GLB(Bass and my Brother) Mista shifta(drums)

Chemini(voxz) and Sylvia(voxz).

So new line up meant new traxz and new rehearsalls.here we go again second half just kicked ofand we started rocking again.back to giging, we had some good gigs including the one at the defunct Astoria suporting the Guillemots.i contacted a record label i knew and asked them to check us out.they did they liked it and they signed usthe gave us £1500 to record 10 traxz in a weekend.and what a weekendwell the more we gigged and tried to promote the album less started happenedso the band started to fall apart again.first was sylvia to leave and after i kicked LNP out of the band.some say i was having an ego problem but i say t was down wanting more professionalismanyway the band once again finished but the Legacy carried onhere u can sample some of the music from the 2 line upswe its a pity u cant see us live anymore but enjoy and spread the myth which is the Bellagios
