Happy New Year

Happy new year to everyone and welcome to 2009... wow. What better time to start a new blog and document what will be my final year in high school, and the future from that point on. It's kind of a scary thought but I'm keen to get into it and get school over and done with!

In a nutshell I'm Ben Webster a 16 year old Brisbane kid who plays/writes/performs/watches a lot of music and likes all the other 16 year old shit too. this blog is something for me to look back on far enough down the track and also to communicate to anyone else who is into the same kinda stuff.

So i started this blog because of one guy, I'm gonna call him a hero, who has an awesome blog and is just an incredible dude. His name is Joel Birch, life to him seems to embody only love, laughter and creativity. It's people like this that capture your imagination and make you think anything is possible; the dude runs graphic designs, sings in the most kick-ass band of all time and takes incredible photos. You should definitely check out his blog at some point too: http://www.thekingdomofsadmachines.com/tkosmblog/index.html

So cool, music yeah? Well i play bass and acoustic guitar and sing a bit too, I dig all sorts of Aussie hardcore to acoustic stuff and I'm sure you'll hear me ramble about some bands in future posts. Performing is a pretty great experience and I love it as well as writing stuff on acoustic. Seeing bands live is quite the past time of mine too, all around Brisbane there are great shows almost every week, and they need support so get along and see them and buy a shirt. I plan to post a few links to great music venues and maybe give a few details on great shows coming up.

But for now, best of luck in the new year to everyone who reads and comes back for more posts too.

Best Wishes,
Ben
