The Brisbane haute couture swamp rockers recently left France in a ruin, after smashing out 13 shows over 15 days, playing at a former tobacco factory under a big-top, in a 14th century pub, and in front of 10,000 fanatical French fans at the Binic Festival.
Now, Gentle Ben turn their sights to the east coast of Australia to unleash their new album, ‘Brut’.
"Gentle Ben returns to business with an album that joins the very select club of absolute masterpieces ...
