Bendy is a solo artist and producer from the UK.
Influences include Beck, SFA, Badly Drawn Boy, and style-wise it is a mixture of Acoustic Folk and Electronica, slightly experimental, with good tunes and an odd twisted humour.
Or to say it another way, it tastes like black-cherry ice-cream with some olives, some ham, and a slice of lemon (mixed in)
Interview with Bendy
Is it true that you have not owned a TV since January 2001? - "Yep, the one I had - kind of went out of the window. TV is for coma victims."
I heard you are into Half-Marathon's and Triathlons - "Yeah. I run 10 miles every weekend - it gives me time to think and meditate. I like fields and Pheasants."
What is the most important thing in your life? - "Clothilde."
What do you think about world politics and the Middle East? - "I dont care who wins because we all lose. Petrol is killing our world. Business rules politics and the media. There is no such thing as democracy. Its all a lie."
Is it true you did all the writing; performance, recording, production and artwork for Shoot a Hole in Your soul? - "Yeah."
Where do you get inspiration for your music? - "Sometimes it comes in dreams and visions. I have the most amazing dreams each night - sometimes I wake up and have a revelation, like *Wow, the subconscious mind is a hundred times smarter than the conscious!*"
So, that's a brief insight into the strange world of Bendy.
Not much more to say really, other than "Listen to the music."
But if you enjoy any of the following, you are in the wrong place:
Beyonce, Tila Tequila, Wolfmother, Paul Wall, Fall Out Boy, Atreyu or Jeffree Star.
Please lose yourself someplace else.
Bendy says:.....
AND NOW..... Here are some reassuring words regarding my music, from some of the largest and most well respected record companies in the world:
"This music has no potential hit value whatsoever"
"We feel this is unpatriotic ... we are not interested in perusing this further"
"... certainly not viable for the 10-17 y.o. demographic"
"... P*ss Soup? Certainly something to be missed ..."
"You are not going to rock product, not in a million years"
Ha ha, ha, ha, ha ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha (bonk)
