Benny Zen The Recording Artist + TheSyphilisMadmen

About Me

Benny zen the Recording Artist featuring the Syphilis Madmen started producing noises in the cold summer of 2005 / singer Peter used to play loud music with Nemo, difficult music with Mitsoobishy Jacson and even louder music with Ultracowboy / with the Syphilis Madmen (dàmn fine musicians) the sound is more like an unexpected surprise on a november evening; the scent of the grass in the park of a small city five minutes after a splash of rain in the middle of a hot summerday; philosophically interesting subjects and neurotic hillbilly ideas are combined with eclectic moodswings and technicolor as well as black&white arrangements and blablableueu / nevertheless, the songs will make all your mothers weep, all your fathers will be worried and your friends will question your mental stability / it's a small price to pay / Zennys of Ben are currently recording a three-disc concept album inspired by the work of Goethe the Good German
