As it turns out, we were already myspace friends. I thought "Ben Kamen" sounded really familiar. Good show the other night, and good luck with the rest of the tour!
Thanks for your friendship + supporting our music!
This is intelligent psychedellic electronica done the hard rock way. Entirely live programming, these symphonic, heart-felt, catchy melodies and dark sexy beats will hypnotize you and take you into a sixth dimension where all things are perfect and poisonous.
Duuude, the new tunes are great! I love the dual vocal effect, and I love hearing the progression that "Blurry Lines" has taken from the acoustic version! This is really great Ben!
That was a nice visit we had in Olympia! Thanks for all the music you added to my collection. When are you coming through Virginia? I am excited to see you then.
