The Bens: Folds, Kweller and Lee
sean by Sean Adams March 10th, 2003
There's a new sooper-groop and they're all called Ben..

This week down-under, in the land of Oz, a new band called The Bens, featuring Ben Folds, Ben Lee, and Evan Dando's ex-Radish mate Ben Kweller, are touring. Starting in Brisbane on March 14th, The Bens will be playing solo, backing each other and playing a set of new songs as a threesome. They did also invite Ben Harper, but apparently he was too busy.

There will be a special collectors 'tour-only' EP with the following tracklisting according to thesuburbs.org.uk:

1. Just Pretend
2. Exfire
3. Stop
4. Bruised

We've heard insider reports that suggest The Bens will be playing the UK this summer (we'd guess at Reading). Check back for dates when we have them confirmed.

DiScuss: Who's the greatest super group of all time? What other people called Ben could they have chosen? Are supergroups post-modern?
