   About Touchers
Ben Spangler, AKA Bi Polar Ben, AKA Ben Brizini, left this, our world, on June 21st, 2007. He was 32 years old... we dearly loved him and will surly miss him, as everyone will. The Touchers last album "Blithe" was recorded right when they got home from their west coast summer tour, and was wrapped up just days before Ben pasted away... "Blithe" should be out in Sept 07. Ben was very proud of it, so... we'll all get one last chance to hear it from Ben himself. R.I.P Ben. Your music will fill our souls forever. BIO}}}}}in the banal,bloated and completely corporate modern (rock) horse shit that is supposedly alternative or indie, one finds little hope for anything original and full of hate for the mainstream and its culture of doom and class warfare. Rising from the voluptuos mountains of montana comes the touchers,carrying the ethics and ideals of the late seventies early eighties punk scene. FUGAZI, NATION OF ULYSSES, MINUTEMEN, FLipper--minor threat BLACK FLAG, DEAD KENNEDYS< the Stooges and X. ramones, heartbreakers,daniel johnston,tom waits and the butthole surfers, Frank Black, etc so we have a twang and a taste of johnny cash and willie nelson but the Fury of THE jesus lizard or the melvins so keep being spoon fed the corporate whores excrement and take a flying fuck at the moon

I was just telling someone another story about you Benji. I always think back and smile,or laugh out loud, or feel like shit because you're gone. I'm so grateful for the memories, and the music.

i still feel that without having the comfort of knowing that pure and passionate music is still being written is very troubling i do listen to the shotgun and underwater fascist albums every day i hope that somewhere ben is in a dimension that is beyond human comprehension still making his own catchy brand of music he was truly something special
