    Jan 19 2023
    How was Ben Lee’s second gig as support for Sonic Youth?! Ben Lee’s band Noise Addict were loved by Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore and the Beastie Boys Mike D and toured with Sebadoh when he was only 16 years old! How the heck did all that happen? Why did he decide to go solo so soon after finding huge success with Noise Addict?  What do Mike D and Money Mark have to do with Ben working with T-Bone Burnett and how did that song end up on the end credits of the film Best Men? He’s recorded with Evan Dando and Mandy Moore, teamed up with Ben Folds and Ben Kweller to form The Bens and won ARIA Single Of The Year for his song Catch My Disease, but how did the idea for that song start. How did Ben’s song “How to Survive a Broken Heart" become integral to a scene in the Farrelly Brothers classic film There’s Something About Mary? And how happy was Ben to discover what music sync is?    His most recent album I’m Fun was released through Warner Music in June 2022 and to be honest, he is fun!

Join us as we ask Dave what took him so long to record his first solo album, what inspired the songs and how he managed to record his album during the lockdowns of covid (remember them?).  We find out how he moved into composing for film and TV, how much he loves collaborating with other musicians and where his ideas come from. Did you know that Dave converted images into audio as part of the music for the BBC TV show The Capture? Now you’ll have to watch the show to see if you can work it out!
