Cooldown (electronic/pop) Fronted by the exotic Miss Benny, they debuted in early 1999 with the smoky downtempo flavors of the 'Ether' EP (Map Records). Benny is backed by a stunning eight piece live band that melds the electronics of Cooldown's recorded output with an amazing live funk feel. Led by keyboardist/mixer Michael Balch (formerly of Front Line Assembly) and producer of her new record "Vivid", the band provides a vibrant and rich base of melodic sonics over which Benny projects her angelic voice and energetic stage presence. The new record delves deeper into the world of electronica/pop. It is a unique and exciting release.
