   About Ben & Amy
Since we were born, we have been doing this. Our madness manifested itself in the form of multitudinous questions, answers, pub names, tape recordings, explanations, composers, historical documents of events that were imaginary, concepts demanding impossible logic, twisted science, an alternative explanation for everything, a desire to take the normal and make it ridiculous, (and vice versa), and a refusal to shut up and accept things. And now...we have decided to invite you to come and visit our world. But mind the rocks. They're hungry.

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply!! I rarely check the Myspace page now, but that'll soon change once we get the damn demo out!

Ross is currently laying down vocals and has 2 more songs to sing over. Once that's done the mixing proces will begin!! It's been a bit of a mission, but it will be completed by the end of summer!

How's life in the crazy world of Ben and Amy anyway?!


All the best guys,
Matt

We live in different cities. We live in the same city. We live in the past. We live in the future. We meet up in the gap between. We make CD quality copies of that feeling. And we give them to you.


You are coming for us.

We are scared of you.


WE ARE

THE MIDDLE CLASS BASTARDS

AND WE'RE COMING FOR YOU





We Thank You For The Add




We hate it when our "friends" forget who we are.

But on myspace friendship is just a click.

No effort just movement.



If only adding someone could add something.


(ps looking forward to meeting you at the apples for everyone album launch on the 31st July.

Just a wee tour that we're embarking on that week! Yeah, it's a cool idea mixing all the genre's together in one show, does it normally bring a decent crowd?

I was going to take that course but I have a mate who goes there now and recommended commercial music.

My hands are so messed up I am using my voice to type using this awesome programme called MacSpeech Dictate

Hence I am so well spoken, I bet you type with your fingers (so last season)

It's fun I can even do smiley faces: :-)

It's how I intend to do my essays at Uni (and annoy my housemates)

Anyway after that tangent I have forgotten the point of this comment

It was probably that I look forward to seeing you guys live, it will be a nutty experience!

What else do I play?
Essentially anything someone gives me, the only thing I've really struggled with to be honest is didgeridoo, not to say I can play many instruments or am good at any of them (I have a severe inferiority complex)

And I definitely definitely can't sing

Which ironically is the only thing that wouldn't use my hands

well if YOU are in the know you would understand that i do not live in guildford, near guildford, about as near guildford as alton is ha. Guildford is like a second home and i am generally active in the local music circuit there(plat9/farenheit/boilerroom/tup etc)which is why i am suprised i hadnt heard of u guys before, came across ur page after seeing socerors spell at the commie last night,fuckin A tbh

and saying 'who are you?' to a band is valid as there is more than one member

fact

i like union jack
