THE BENWAHS are a female fronted power-pop punk band, with female bass and male drums.
We have... (drum roll (from Mikey)),
Benwah Scuz (me!) on guitar and vocals.
Benwah Kaz on bass and backing vocals.
and Benwah Mikey on drums.
We are based in London and have been together for a few months. We usually rehearse at Enterprise Studios on Denmark Street, being in the centre is extremely useful! Or Zed One Studios in Camden, (my personal favorite!!!). It has a great atmosphere, comfy, clean rooms and really friendly staff, who'll help you out at the drop of a hat. One of the guys even lent me his guitar when mine broke!!!!
We did our first ever gig on December 6th 2007 at Tommy Flynn's in Camden, which went down a storm, (I'm proud to say!). Tommy's was a brilliant venue. As a prestigious Camden music venue, with punters coming just for the music, it's an intimate setting with a raised stage at the head of an L shaped room. The stage is set right in front of a large window facing the street! Throw some shapes and hope the passers-by notice your style! We played to a packed room and definitely felt this was the first step of our journey.
Our next gig is on January 16th at Lark In The Park in Islington, London. So if you're in or around London, come see us! Grab a pew and a drink and tell us what you think!!!
I'll keep you updated with rehearsals, gigs and studio time so you can follow the journey of THE BENWAHS, rags to riches!!!!!!
That's all for now!!
Big love,

Hey anon! I can confirm Suzie from THE BENWAHS was in Birmingham before christmas. It's where she likes to go to get away from it all and she tends to get recognized less there too. Keep in touch. See you at the next gig! Big love, THE BENWAHS xxx
