Beller became the full time drummer for the band in early 2004, breaking the "full house" that the band had before of two Johns and three Dans, after Dan Hickey's departure.
During the 2004 Spine Tour and the 2005 tour, John Flansburgh often introduced him as "the Next President of the United States of America, Mr. Marty Beller!"
On TMBG's 2011 album Album Raises New and Troubling Questions, the fourth song is "Marty Beller Mask" which suggests that TMBG's drummer is actually Whitney Houston wearing a mask of Beller. On the news of Houston's death, TMBG announced that they were retiring the song from public performance.
Beller is married and has two children.
He is also currently the drummer for Jonathan Coulton's new band.
