After weeks of procrastinating about whether I would go to the 3 Ben’s concert tonight, my girlfriend, sister and I decided last night that we may as well go, and ordered 3 tickets over the internet.
Of course, the concert had been sold out. This morning, my girlfriend rang the venue, and asked if they had any, they told her that they didn’t, but that a record shop in town may have some.
We sent my sister on a mission to the record shop, and she has just informed me that we got 3 of the last 7 tickets available in Brisbane.
So, tonight I am off to see Ben Lee, Ben Kwellor and Ben Folds.
Now, I think Ben Lee is an irritating little shit, but I also think that he is very talented and I enjoy his music. Ben Folds is one of my favourite artists, and I don’t know much about Ben Kwellor.
So, does anyone else reckon this concert will be good? And can anyone tell me anything about Ben Kwellor.
Now, if I could only wrangle some tickets for the Ben Harper/Jack Johnson concert in a couple of weeks.
I saw Ben Kweller in El Paso two weeks ago. The fast version is: he rocks. The show was great, as was his opening act Brendan Benson and the Well Fed Boys. Ben does a bit of everything from piano ballads (Dienu) to punk/slacker rock (Commerce Texas, Wasted and Ready). He’s puts on a great concert, interacts with the crowd, and if you’re lucky, he’ll do a rap for you.
This shall be so cool. Ben Folds is well good, and I have similar feelings to the OP about Ben Lee. And Ben Kweller from what I’ve heard is great. Kind of a cross between between Weezer and BF5.
I’m so hoping that he does Ice Ice Baby.
How were the songs that all three of them did, TB’sU?
The songs they did together were pretty good, especially “Dancing in the Crossfire”. I didn’t get the EP, but I am considering going to “Skinny’s” tomorrow to get an autographed copy - they are appearing there tomorrow.
