about
Artist: The Ben Mills Two
Title: Three Paycheck Month
Genre: Spoken Word / Comedy
No Label

Luckily for culture, The Ben Mills Two's debut album Three Paycheck Month can now be added to the smart arsenal of the comedy fan. The soundscaped monologues, derived from the unique experiences of a working class comedian and an academic singer-songwriter, are the comedic equivalent of finding long lost money in your pockets when you're broke.

The Ben Mills Two consists of comedian Ben Mills (originally from Nanaimo, British Columbia) and musician David Newberry (originally from Peterborough, Ontario). They met in 2005 while working as cashiers in a splintery ticket window in the historic town of Barkerville in BC. They worked side by side again in the city of Vancouver as cooks in a Gastown pub. During this time they began collaborating on ideas for an original comedy album as respite from the menial chores of their employment. The ideas came to fruition in 2009 when the two created a makeshift studio in Newberry's living room in a Jervis Street apartment. The live tracks were recorded at a theatre in a Science Museum during daylight hours.

The digital can be downloaded from this website. Free stickers are also available by request. E-mail: benmills36@gmail.com

Released in 2009, it's some of the best quasi-hybrid-musical-soundscape-comedy the internet has heard in years. Three Paycheck Month is to the comedy fan what an actual three paycheck month is to the wage slave; timely deserving redemption.
