About me: Welcome everyone! I created this site for fans of musician Ben Carey. This site is not run by Ben, though I have it on good authority (ok, that would be Ben himself) that he checks in regularly. Ben very much appreciates all the support and absolutely none of this would be possible without the participation of great fans like you! Thank You to everyone for making this page such a success!
Nancy :)
Ben has had a very diversified career playing with such artists as Savage Garden (1997-2001)
Lifehouse(2004-present)
Paperback Hero (2007)
Ben also had his own band called Ocianic w/ fellow Aussie Aaron Hendra.
Check out the Ocianic MySpace page and their website(Ocianic.com) for more including how to purchase the Ocianic CD "U", photos, and watch videos of Ben performing!!
AND THIS IS WHY BEN DESERVES HIS OWN PAGE: Bryce' />
Our four show run in Florida was amazing! We enjoyed the people and the weather. Thanks to everyone who came out.
The resort we were staying at, Cpt. Hiram's had put us up with great rooms overlooking the water. When I returned to my room after the Mojitos and whatnot, some clown had turned everything in my room upside down, my bed, lamps, desk, TV, even my toothpaste and shampoo were flipped. I tell you it was a pain in the ass turning an upside down safe, and I am not one to be passive to a prank. I had found out through an anonymous tip that it was "The Bloke" (our guitar player Ben) our sound guy Mitch. After convincing the hotel Clerk that I was Ben Carey, I was able to get into the Bloke's room to wake him up with a nice refreshing bucket of water and sumo drop.
With him down, I decided to get more creative with Mitch. I managed to get into his dark room with a garbage bag full of ice to refresh him. After cooling him off, I got a call from the Bloke laughing and apologizing for what he did to my room.
This time the joke is on the Bloke:
