A B3NSON FAMILY FUNSGIVING The first compilation from the B3nson Recording Company is tentatively set to be release on November 14th at Valentine’s in Albany. Nothing is set yet, but you can expect 11-14 tracks of some of Albany’s finest independent musicians. We’re hoping to have CDs for everyone who attends, b3nson t-shirts and maybe some other goodies for you to take home if you’d like. Updates will be posted regularly from here on out regarding that, so stay tuned. 

BARONS IN THE ATTIC RECORDING The Barons are hard at work recording their first album. Everyone is super excited about how it’s turning out this far. We’re hoping for a late fall release. 

PETER MOLLICA HAS ENTERED THE COUNTRY Peter, of My Friend Peter, is back from another one of his internation escapades with a throng of new songs written on some crazy 4 stringed South American instrument. Look for a new tune of his on A Benson Family Funsgiving! 

WECLOME SCIENTIFC MAPS, SWAMPBABY, DESPERATELY OBVIOUS, AND BEWARE! THE OTHER HEAD OF SCIENCE They’ve been our friends for years now, and we’re glad to welcome them into the B3nson family! Keep an eye out for updates on the B3nson compilation release to hear some new tunes from them. 

PS. Plus we are trying to integrate all this new information and our entire back catalog of releases seamlessly onto this website. Yay.

September 5th, 2008 · No Comments

 

 Tonight at the Lark Tavern, on the corner of Madison and Lark, the Scientific Maps will bid adieu to their longtime bassist Justin Baker in his last show with the band.  They will be joined by Albany pop-punk legends Kitty Little and openers Chlorine. The show is a Benefic for the Raise The Barn project committed to creating affordable artist housing in the capital district which means its not only a good show but its for a good cause.  The show stats at 8pm and the cover is 5$.
