Check out the new album ‘Art Religion & Chocolate Biscuits’ from Pete Bentham & The Dinner Ladies (Nine x Nine Records)!
“Scouse art-punk collective, PETE BENTHAM & THE DINNER LADIES, are back with their newest record Art, Religion & Chocolate Biscuits. As the name would suggest, the record is something that juggles topics both fun and serious where one moment you’re smiling and laughing along to silly stories, the next you find yourself feeling emotional and connected to deeply personal lyrics. The subject matter itself is a nod to Pete Bentham’s upbringing on a council estate in Widnes and his experiences regarding the people he knew, the heavily religious community and, of course, chocolate biscuits. For anyone to open up about personal experiences and struggles, and then to have people relate, is a highly regarded skill. But to do that plus also have people also smiling and laughing along is just exceptional… A gem of a punk record to make you smile about life. It’s a standout amongst this year’s album releases.”

I’m very excited to be working with the extraordinary dark wave/punk rock band True Moon from Sweden. They deliver an enchanting blend of dark wave, post-punk, and alternative that eclipses musical trends. Formed by members of Grammy-nominated band Vånna Inget, Karolina Engdahl (vocals/bass) and Tommy Tift (guitar), they have created a charming darkness; together with Linus Segerstedt (guitar) and Fredrik Orevad (drums), they are a force to be reckoned with. Feel free to contact me for shows in fall 2024.

Hello folks,
I’ve decided to end my tour van rental business in 2023.
Let’s be honest — there’s not much money to be made renting out low-budget tour vans. On top of that, Covid-19 has left a big dent in the finances, and more and more European cities are introducing driving bans for older diesel vehicles.
I want to sincerely thank all the bands who rented my vans over the past 7 years — it’s been a pleasure supporting your tours!
The good news? I’ve created an online directory called Band-Vans.net, where you’ll find listings for tour van rentals, backline providers, and other useful tour services. I hope it helps you find your next van!
