Michael Bennett

About Me

Born to a family of eccentric academics and raised by an ill-tempered piano hybridized broken drum kit, Michael Bennett found himself hitting things to make noise from an early age. But all was not well in the land of the eccentric bourgeois for many tragedies befell this boy and while it may not have made him stronger, it certainly made him more deranged. And so growing into an often thoughtful, impulsive, jaded, inconsistent but most often hilarious human brought Michael to the conclusion that music was the life he would lead at all costs to himself and perhaps others. And so after many more misadventures and contusions concerning life and all things pointless, Michael finds himself here; peddling his wares to the great unwashed. Yet how, you ask, to describe this delinquents musical gifts? Electronic alt-rock with a dramatic, theatrical twist.
Current Status:
I set this old account up in February 2007 as a kind of work in progress page my music, which I'm constantly rewriting and rerecording. I'll begin gigging around Brisbane in the next few months so sit tight, the drummer is learning the parts as I write this.
