About
Ben Lee began his career as a young teenager in the early 90ās, in the Australian lo-fi punk band Noise Addict, who were discovered by taste-making artists Sonic Youth and the Beastie Boys.
That began an extraordinary career that has been both eclectic and eccentric, and still growing more strange and fascinating each day. Whether collaborating in one-off projects like the Bens (with Ben Folds and Ben Kweller), producing a Grammy award winning music/comedy album for Margaret Cho (āCho Dependentā), duetting with Sarah Silverman, writing a psychedelic childrenās musical with American literary legend Tom Robbins, or simply strumming away on his guitar, Benās career is always āconfusing...but never dullā.
āIve always done what seemed fun to me at the time. In general, the vibe that is getting you off as an artist is what you have to do. I think artists are most interesting and useful when they follow their own unique rhythm. Thatās how you really create and change culture.ā
