Its been quite the musical week for the Monstersnot only has Russ been in Nashville to catch the CMAs but we were lucky enough to have Ben Prestage in the studio this weekwhos playing the Orlando Anti-Pop Festival

No offence to the CMAsbut Im not sure that it gets any better than this. A mana cigar box-half guitar, half bassa homemade kapo thats a Sharpie Markera kick drum, snare, and high-hat all controlled with pedalsand pure unadulterated soul. No corporate crapno 20 foot mega-screen with smoke and lazers

just a guy with loads of talentand a story to tell.

Be sure to check out Bens MySpace at www.myspace.com/bprestage for all of his information and to grab a few of his CDs

Heres Ben from this mornings showcomplete with a little age film look to complete the soundit just felt like it needed to look like thishaha

I dont think Tom Waits 2:19 has ever sounded quite so good

Thanks to Wes Wally for working the camera while my back takes a huge dump

Enjoy
