About Me

Music Is My Passion.

Hello, I'm Ben and I'm a Musicaholic, I grew up listening to bands such as Dio, Sabbath, Rainbow, Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, Journey, Fish, Marillion, Genesis, Queen, Deep Purple, Zeppelin and lots of that sort of stuff. I've been a QotSA fan since I was 8 or 9 years old, picked up an album because I was a Kyuss fan even at that age, listened to their first album and loved QotSA ever since. That Josh Homme, man I love him.

I'm a big Steven Wilson fan, I love pretty much anything he has to do with. He's simply a god among men when it comes to composing music. Had the pleasure of seeing him perform live when Porcupine Tree came out in 2008, best show of my life so far. It'll be hard to top. Thanks for that Steven, you're simply brilliant.

I love to listen to Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Them Crooked Vultures, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, Desert Sessions, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Dio, Fish, Marillion, Blackfield, Eagles of Death Metal and many other bands.

I live in Australia and am totally pissed off that it takes so long for all my favourite bands to tour here. But they'll come! THEY'LL COME! If you look below, you'll see the gigs I've been to. The line-up's improved over the years. My favourites on there have been Porcupine Tree, Queens, Maiden, Offspring, Sabbath and Eagles of Death Metal. I've seen Nickelback a few times live as both my auntie and my girlfriend are big fans of them, I'm not their biggest fan, but why not tag along for a gig? They're actually quite good showmen. Cannot freaking wait to see Them Crooked Vultures.

And weekly pub and club gigs, because those rock. Mediocre no-name bands playing classic rock, always good for a night out with friends. Also, the odd EP launch for Sydney bands.
