Profile Information

My Montana Area: Bozeman Area

Music categories I best fit into...: guitar, lead guitar, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, songwriter

These are the music services I offer...: music marketing, design, music business, music manager, booking, printing, promoter

Here's a quick overview about what I play and who with...: This is Bad Taste Ben, owner & operator of the Store formerly known as Bad Taste but Now known as the Movie Dungeon in the Cactus Basement. I can help with printing and promotion for local shows. I've been doing the BozemanShows.com entertainment calendar as well.

I have a radio show on KGLT (91.9 FM - Bozeman.) I have done a Weekly Metal Hour on Friday nights for the last 4 years. Right now the Metal hour is at Midnight on Fridays. I am happy to play local or regional bands, especially metal. After the metal hour I often play prog or art rock, especially zeuhl. My favorite active American band right now is probably Agalloch, which happens to have its roots in southwest Montana but are now based in Portland, OR.

I also play guitar, primarily nylon on my Godin, although I'm not exactly a classical guitarist; lately I've been interested in the "pagan folk" thing. I am also a total metal head - mostly black & death but also all the classic stuff; and I'm a Zappa freak and total zeuhl nut. I also play bass and I mess around with metal vocals and percussion.

I can do basic production through my Motu / Digital Performer 5 Setup. Lately I've been experimenting with Leslie speakers, I've got a great 122RV. I'm generally a fan of Carvin guitars and equipment.
