Come With Us.

About Me

We've gone bombastic, we can be fantastic because we tend to bend genres like elastic.
Ghengis Green has been playing the Columbus area local music scene for a while now, and it's time they got the respect they deserve. Their catchy, yet calm indie alternative riffs and lyrics both demand and deny your attention.
Their Music ranges from the peaceful feeling that you feel as you're laying in your bed to the built up frustration after four hours of not being able to sleep.
Ghengis Green was born in November of 2005, coincidentally the day before applications were due for Ohio's largest Battle of the Bands. And, based on the demos that guitarist/vocalist Ben Ahlteen put together using the drumbeats of his eight-year old computer, the Columbus Dispatch thought that they were one of the top 10 bands in Ohio. That was when Ghengis Green started fooling everybody
Fast forward two years. Ian McLain and Chris Cheeseman keep the beat on their bass and drums, respectively. Dustin White rounds out the group as their keyboardist and is known to, on occasion, play the keytar. For two years they've trudged through some of the dirtiest bars in Columbus, each show more exciting than the one that came before. They are in the process of professionally recording a few of their funktacular tunes, you'll hear them when their done. you can wait, you'll survive... or will you? .
Hello, we are Ghengis Green.
and this is our attempt to make you dance this is our effort to make you want to clap your hands and if you don't then we assure you that we won't try to pressure you into it.
