About Benelli

Like most males Owen and Joe feared commitment. They actually formed Benelli a mere 5 days before their first show. What started as a noisy improv based drum and bass duo turned into a noisy not-so-improv-based 3-piece with the addition of Jeff Hall.

Benelli will be the band you either forget about, forge a hatred for, or fall in love with.

shiiin	Aug 14 2008 12:51 AM Did I ever tell you guys about the time I took an elephant ride? It was really creepy. The guy driving the poor bastard of an elephant only had one arm! And the One Armed Elephant Driver was like, hey, Ask Me About Rollerblade Racing? And I was like, Hey, listen Sugar Tits, If I want to know anything from you it's gonna be about the History of Sweeping. Got it. Shiiin
shiiin	Jul 3 2008 12:48 AM If you use my floor fan one more time....I'll take the top head off your snare drum and shit inside. Then I'll put it all back together with a clear head on top so you can see a giant steamer every time you play. It's a reminder of what you did wrong! Bad Benelli...BAD!!!!....I'm just kidding. I wanted to pretend that I would shit in a drum. Use it all you want. It rules...Like you guys! Still workin on getting a show.
Karthik Kakarala	May 5 2008 11:47 PM I'm currently calling your name change and style change(s) [predominantly the junking of the old material, as opposed to holding onto it] as being more of your commitmentphobia, and shall staunchly believe as such until convinced otherwise.
KT to the B	May 5 2008 8:03 PM Dear Benelli- I know you don't exist anymore technically but could you come to Champaign again maybe? Be a pal. Thanks. -Katie B.

Karthik Kakarala	Sep 24 2007 6:22 PM So about a week and a half ago, I noticed a discrepancy on my MySpace page... ...no worries though, it's fixed now.
Karthik Kakarala	Sep 18 2007 8:56 PM Anyone who missed your show at the Beat Kitchen (or didn't watch it: ¿what the hell?) missed out. Soon, but not soon enough... "This is Karthik: He's a Noise Musician."

DANIEL BENELLI	Sep 6 2007 11:58 PM i know man ha
Monitors	Sep 6 2007 8:24 PM There really ain't no more shit to cut. Last week we practiced for the first time in four months. We're going to get a set worked up, play few shows in the Kansas City, Lawrence, KS or Warrensburg, MO areas and then it's going to be all over in December. After that I'm on a hunt for young blood to start something new.
The Midwest Hackers	Sep 6 2007 4:28 PM It's all good sirs, it went pretty well. I forgot some lyrics which is nothing new. We need to set up a show together asap. When we do, i think we should play "Big Bottom" by Spinal Tap. By my count, combined we could have 6 basses going at once. Brutal.
Bug in Ether	Aug 31 2007 7:26 AM Shouldn't Phish be listed under joe's influences/likes. Check the foot!!!! it does not lie.
