Ben Kweller

Has anyone heard of him?

He's my newly discovered artist at the moment, so I don't know much about him but he sounds like rufus wainwright and Ben Folds, all in one.

So far, I'm liking Wasted and Ready, Falling, The Rules, Wicked Little Town, Lollipop, and Jerry Falwell destoryed the Earth.

Just felt like he was worthy of his own thread!

Oh, wow! Im excited that someone loves him!! I've loved him ever since Sha Sha...his new one is pretty good as well!

I've been searching for a Ben Kweller thread and I'm glad someone finally made it.

I'm just in love with Lizzy.

I saw him at the knitting factory in New York about 2 or 3 years ago. There were about 40 people there to see him. I remember a juggler was his opening act. He's beautiful and fairly talented, but thats it. When he performed he looked like he was on ecstasy. The boy had to run his hands through his hair about 20 times per 2 minute song.

this guy has a career as a support slot act, i dunno...i saw him 4 years ago, with kings of leon. not bad but lacking something to make it that extra bit special.

oh man, i love ben kweller! i was just listening to the cover of kokomo he did with adam green the other day. he was also in a band before going solo called radish, it was like a garage punk type band, they have a song called little pink stars that i really like. anyway, how about some pictures? these are old, but i still love them.

Ohh Im glad there is a thread about him - he is such a sweety. I saw him live the other week and he hung around for ages afterwards chatting to fans, sighing things and taking photos. Even when security tried to get everyone to leave because the venue was closing he asked them to wait till everyone was done.

What a cutie! (He was rocking the same hat when I saw him the other night)
