There is a new interview done with Benjamin Blower over at www.scenenotheard.co.uk

Highlights from the interview (and taken out of context):

'My name is Benjamin Blower and I make apocalyptic cowboy music.'

'I intend to write a book'

'you’re in the band'

We have yet another Benjamin Blower video for you all...

Better Be Ready is the opening track on Benjamin Blower's 2008 release 'The Pillar Of Smoke'.

This track was previously unreleased, but we have it for you now... Shot in Barcelona is looks beautiful.

A bit uncomfortable with singing the track out loud in a foreign land, Joel the Custodian was listening with headphones and clapping along to the beat for Benjamin Blower to mime along. We just about got away with it!

We took the opportunity to grab a live performance after the gig last Friday...

Here it is, Benjamin Blower and The Army Of The Broken Hearted playing on a central reservation in Digbeth, Birmingham.

I was cold, the camera and mic hands hurts a lot after being exposed for 3 minutes. Some people beeped at us, one bus stopped, and shouted something and then moved along, but it all added to the fun!

Tonight Benjamin Blower will be playing The Rainbow in Birmingham. Usual - Wood-strapped-to-foot, bin-hittin Scotsman - Christmas Carter is unavailable tonight but Selina Blakeney and Naomi Haworth will be helping Benjamin out.

More reason than normal for everyone to help out and be part of The Army Of The Broken Hearted!

Also playing is The Freelance Mourners, and these guys are really very good!

Get all the info in the Live section.

Mr. Z

Thank you to everyone who made it down to Birmingham for the video shoot on Monday...

For those of you who did not... Benjamin Blower screamed the track 'The Darkness Doesn't Love You Baby, Come Out While You Can' in the Birmingham town centre. This the title track from his forthcoming album (out in March).

It was quite scary, some people told us to shut up, but we couldn't... we were mid take...

You can see the video right now at YOUTUBE

Mr. Z

Zang wants you to come star in the live music video for The Darkness Doesn't Love You Baby, Come Out While You Can, which is the title track from the forthcoming Benjamin Blower album. All you have to do is this:

-Show up at New Street in Birmingham. Meet by the big brass bull. 6:30pm this monday 18th.

-Get ready to yell the chorus. (Its the easiest chorus ever. You can hear it at the Benjamin Blower myspace page. And don't worry if you can't sing, that doesn't matter either).

-Bring a homemade music instrument if you want to.

-Bring your friends.

It'll be easy and fun. See you there then.
