Absinthe

ABSINTHE is a fine green mixture of all west-coast genres with a pinch of east-coast funk, specially laced with the nuclear fusion of homegrown rock and roll. Enjoy! and Thanks for listening! We'll catch you in Fairbanks, Anchorage, Wasilla, and Kenai/Soldotna this summer!

Ben - Guitars/Didgeridoo/Vocals/Songwriting I've been playing guitar for nine years now, writing for five, didgeridooing for three, producing for two, and singing for one and a half. All of it's been able to come together in Absinthe. I've been in an array of bands before, but ABSINTHE just clicks...we all have the same vision. Chitty - Guitar This is Chitty's first band, even though he's a five year player...he's a rock legend in his basement. He's an "experimenter" on the guitar, and can pull some sweet Morello-esque tricks. Chitty puts the edge on things. Mike - Drums Mike has 9 years of percussion experience. He's been in a blues band, a reggae band, a jazz band, a hardcore band, and finally ABSINTHE. Never have I clicked with such an unexpected musical soulmate. We're moving to Boston to live West Coast music out in the East. Lowell - Bass LOL is the new bass player. He's the frontman of Better Off Jim, and has three years of bass playing experience. He's been in a hardcore band and an acoustic band, but fits into ABSINTHE even better than our last bass player.

We play around the Kenai/Soldotna area for the most part. For the last few months, we've been practicing four times a week preparing for our summer tour, which starts this Solstice in Fairbanks.

Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, G-Love and the Special Sauce, Sublime, Ween, Rage Against The Machine, Bob Dylan, and Bob Marley.

We haul our own PA and generator around, so we can pretty much set up and play anywhere.

I play an electric didgeridoo, which as far as i know, i invented.
