Gird thy loins-Gentle Ben & His Shimmering Hands are back to ruin your Sunday best.

"Gentle Ben can't stay still, shaking his head and arms with shimmering hands that draw numerous arabesques. Charismatic as hell, he takes all the stage presence, leaving the other musicians well sheltered in their expert concentration …"

"In fact, "Brut" is one of those records which requires your attention. And you love it, and the musicians, for producing it." - I-94 Bar

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 ... The melody, the orchestration, the voice… It’s breath-taking, haunted and elegant at the same time with menace, with dull terror, with the darkest, most lost rock'n'roll, lyrically packing a punch the record is littered with Regret, Bitterness, Tragedy, Redemption …

Gentle Ben & His Shimmering Hands will be licking the road in September to serenade Naarm, Taungurung Country, Gadigal and Meanjin.
