Ben Pringle With a Special Guest
About BEN PRINGLE
I'm Ben.
I play music.
I shaved my moustache. I'm starting over...
So I've started a new band with some really great friends of mine. Check out the new scene.....on myspace.

I like to play on my friends' records.
Some of it you will find here.
I used to play bass with a band called Nerf Herder.
If you look around you will find them here on myspace somewhere.
I played some trombone on the new Ozma record. Go get it!
Lately i've been recording on a lot of friends' new recordings. There are new records in the works from Kelly Dalton, Gina Villalobos, Chuck Vaughan, Bloody Robots, and WaxApples.
PROS:
Free Ben Pringle music!
CONS:
The beer will cost ya...

Yes, lots of peanuts. And I'll be sure to pack the monkey in barrel.

If you cover the shipping cost for that free monkey, I'll pay the shipping for Ben. Use lots of packing peanuts.

This is completely unrelated, but Parry, I think this is worth a review: http://www.blenderblaster.com/blenderblaster/gx2avmodel.asp

Well BP, I think your review holds the record for most random Ebay ad listings ever... Or are you secretly Count Chocula and selling a house in NC while wearing Angelina Jolie's Jacket from Wanted and lunching with Warren Buffet?...

what parry didn't know about this picture is that we were all sitting around watching Empire Strikes Back (a classic movie from a long time ago}. at some point, someone (who i don't really know and that doesn't know me} made a comment about the "scruffy looking nerf herder" line and was like, "you know there was a band called Nerf Herder...i think they did that Chewbacca What a Wookie song" i kept quiet.

Cool, will he spank me? Do I need to interview with some nut vendor before I can take him?

If you cover the shipping costs, I believe that might be doable.
