Selected Press about the Benevento/Russo Duo:

One of the Five bust outs from this year’s SXSW musicfest. David Fricke, Rolling Stone, April 21, 2005

“One of the year’s most exciting break-out discs…” 4 to Watch For, Paste Magazine, June/July 2005

“A stripped-down punk rock version of a keyboard trio.” Richard Gehr, The Village Voice, April 18, 2005

“Like all good groups, the only real category that Benevento/Russo Duo fit neatly into is their own.” David Lynch, Austin Chronicle, March 18, 2005

“[F]un on a body-moving level and in the “how-the-hell-are-they-doing-that?” sense. CMJ New Music Report, April 4, 2005“

**** - cascading layers of effected Wurli, loops and percussion … spotlight the duo’s songwriting strengths and modern pop ear.” Dan Frio, Remix, June 2005

“The intensity of purpose imposed on their instruments is a gale force of youthful bravado.” Jay Sweet, PasteMagazine.com (web exclusive), June 20, 2005

“[T]he Brooklyn-based drums ‘n’ keys outfit … might be the Optimus Prime of genre-crushing hybrid bands.” Jonathan Zwickel, Miami New Times, May 19, 2005

Today we're here to report on Phish lyricist Tom Marshall speaking to Pop Matters in an article published yesterday (June 4) about the same issue. "Trey wants Phish to come back" Marshall said. Marshall explains that he's been writing and recording with Trey at his Rubber Jungle studios in Saratoga Springs, New York "for the past four months." Marshall went on to say: "I think if the stars align and everything works out there will be [a reunion]. I don't think they will ever be a huge touring band."

When asked about the songs he and Trey have been crafting, Marshall said: "They could take a left turn into the Trey Anastasio Band or a straight turn to Phish." With Trey set to perform at a few summer festivals including Rothbury, Newport Folk Fest and All Points West, fans are, well, foaming at the mouth with hopes of a Phish reunion. Marshall ends the talk by telling us, "No one wants Phish back more than Trey.

Hey, don't you think you guys could maybe play somewhere in Montana this summer? Say between July and September? Come on now, it's so easily reachable and convenient - practically in your backyard. Not to mention chock full of a young, hip population. ;) But really, I'd love to hear you again.
Please?

Ya I'm going on leave finally. I'll see you guys at the High Sierra or when I hit up the East coast at the All Good Music Festival. I also need another copy of your first cd and play pause stop. The one you gave me at The Mint was donated to my collection of cd's eaten by car stereos. Heard you also met my brother on the East Coast with Angelo and Goob. I'll catch up with you guys at one of the festivals.
