BEN COLHOUN:
That's me. I like telling stories using image along with music and sounds. I'm thinking about lasers too. If you want to book GOOD LUCK FOX, SIDEARM or WON LOST THE OTHER or want me to play for you, or want to make a video with me, or whatever, or not, get in touch. Above photo by Vanessa Countessa.
SIDEARM:
4 piece indie/post-hardcore/crashout band. I play drums and guitar (not at the same time). Also in Sidearm are my very good friends Neil Allen, Simon Moore and Phil 'Electricity' Mitchell. More details at www.sidearmtheband.com
WON LOST THE OTHER:
Acoustic project with Sidearm guitarist/drummer Neil. We play across the acoustic spectrum from sea shantys to delicate heart-wrenching ballads.
GOOD LUCK FOX:
3 piece black and white film soundtrack project with Neil Allen and Gemma Louise Upton (O Lovely Lie), comprising mainly of Keyboard (me),Drums (Neil) and Vocals (Gemma).
Previous Bands:
THE HUSTLE:
Dope bluetone rock band with Andy 'Pistola' Clydesdale (ClydeAscope) and Tristan ' Beaver' Leaver (All One Surface), featuring the lavish vocal repertoire of Joe 'The Daddy' Mills.
TRASH TRASH HOORAY!:
Trashy Disco 3 piece with Neil Allen on Drums, Tristan Ian Leaver on Bass and Me on Guitar. Heavily conceptual: Song titles were questions, and the lyrics were the answer e.g. Title - Does Beheading Hurt? Lyric - Yes! Beheading hurts.
COOLHOUN:
Grime/Jazz/Funk/Party band, led by guitarist to the stars Will Hogg, with the slinky stylings of Tris Leaver on bass and me on drums. In it's heyday the band featured a french rapper. I'm serioux.
Notice similarity between the band name and my own. My full name is actually Benjamin Colhoun Walker, but there are loads of Ben Walkers in the world - I have already met already met three others and I regretfully recall that i didn't really like any of them.
KOKO
5 piece weird-trip-rock outfit. Included Wayne Green and Cheryl Glamour on vocals, Charles the Vest on bass and Will Hogg on guitar. I played drums.
GOLGA 13:
Politically charged socialist Hardcore band with Stuart Dunnett, Jon Stones and Ben Holmes.
UNDER ONE SUN THEY WAIT:
Solo electronic/fuzz/sketchy project. Never saw the light of day, except for one track which can be found at the end of Sidearm's 'Home Recordings Vol 1' release, after an unsettling horror-soundtrack-style keyboard journey performed by Simon Benedict Moore.
