/itsallaboutthebenjamins
It's All About the Benjamins is a twangy/catchy Pop/Rock band that through many efforts is starting to make a move on the St. Louis music scene and surrounding areas (right now 4-5 hours out). As the summer goes, we hope to be out for a couple weeks at a time (primarily in the midwest to build a "Local/semi Local " fan base) We have been hitting the road quite a bit so far this year. Playing lots of shows and opening for bands such as The Academy Is, Even Taubenfeld (ex guitarist of Avril Lavine), and Steve Ewing (of the Urge).
We are very serious about doing this as a career and we feel with the right people in the group and the talent that is there, we will be able to make this happen. We try to play shows at least once a week. but as of recently it has been 2-3. We have Lots of shows this month and need a permanent bass player ASAP. as our shows will be picking up at a steady pace this summer. please let us know if you are interested. feel free to check us out
