Beneva create contagious melodies with harmonies galore. They can switch from heart-felt epics to quirky radio friendly songs with ease.
With Nathan Bennett on Piano/Vocals/percussion and Malc Evans on Guitar/Vocals/Harmoncia, their voices blend together so well that reviewers have compared their overall sound similar to Jellyfish, Simon and Garfunkel, The Beautiful South, Supertramp and even elements of The Beatles.
Over the past 5 years, Beneva have performed over 500 gigs around the UK supporting the likes of Captain, The Feeling, Baz Warne (The Stranglers), Phil Bates (ELO), Nick Hall (Fame Academy), Keisha White and FO Machete at venues such as Birmingham Barfly, Birmingham Bar Academy, Birmingham Victoria Square, London The Forum, London The Garage, London Rock Garden, London Barfly, London The Fly, Greenbelt Festival, Birmingham Uni, Sunderland Uni, Liverpool Cavern Club and many many more.
In 2006 Beneva had 2 songs feature in the Movie 'IN A MAN'S WORLD. This DVD can still be purchased from all Blockbuster, Morrissons and Tesco stores.
Beneva have had airplay on major local stations plus performed live sets on BBC Radio Birmingham, BBC Radio Lincoln, BBC Radio Coventry and Talksport Radio London.
Saturday 29th November Baby Dee + Black Carrot + Paul Curreri £10 adv/ £4 students /£12 door
Baby Dee is an American performance artist and singer/songwriter. She is a musician and transgender street legend from Cleveland who has worked with Antony and the Johnsons and many other artists on the New York scene, as well as international artists like Marc Almond. She has also toured extensively with Current 93, playing piano and harp. Expect some Kurt Weil type renditions & some fireworks of outpouring emotion from this truly one off artist......
PAUL CURRERI "Spontaneous & poetic... playing unpredictably, altering his phrasing, his routines thankfully haven't been hammered into regular shape," says The Independent UK.
BLACK CARROT "As febrile and hostile as Van Der Graaf Generator, as pounding and grainy as Faust, as instinctive and mercurial as Can, this is one far-out combo. " Pat Fish/The Jazz Butcher
