 Mourning Widows / Nuno Bettencourt - Band page with free MP3 music downloads on SoundClick
Now being drummerless, when Nuno was asked to play at the Expo 1998 in Portugal, he realized he didn't have any choice but to take his Schizo band back, his brother Paul (guitar synth, bv's) Eddie W.(guitar, bvs) and Dave C.(drums) but just for this one time event.
As soon as Jeff started to jam with them, Nuno knew he was the missing link to creating his power trio and so, in February 1999, Jeff was annonced as the new Mourning Widows drummer.
Overall, that first MW tour went well but Nuno felt the band needed more time rehearsing so for the rest of 1999, time was spent on shaping up and developing band chemistry before doing more live shows.
