The Benja Men began as one Benjamin with an affinity for tasty melodies and quirky lyrics. After a short period of feverishly writing and recording songs in his bedroom, his dream of starting an all-ukulele grunge band fell victim to squeals of unholy feedback. Refocusing, he turned to writing oddly captivating songs about insects and pirates, which he performs with a handful of Berlin's rockingest and hardest-working musicians.
really looking forward to be in Berlin again :) and yeah, nice if you come to one of my shows. and bring all the girls you know, haha, i'm bringing norwegian chocolate!
HOLY FUCKING SHIT BEN - I'VE FINISHED THE LAST OF MY TUNES FOR '09. I feel like I've just had a super big pooh and my ring is slowly getting back into shape. Can't wait to bang some tunes out in Berlin...
