It's sad but true. The Ben Hardie band has gone into a temporary hiatus after drummer James Douglas and Bassist Phil Gough have moved interstate and overseas. We announced it at our gig at the Ruby L'Hotel, Balmain to the shock and dismay of millions of loyal and dedicated fans. James Douglas has foolishly decided to take on a career in teaching in the Hunter region while Phil has moved to the USA for a year to, again foolishly, work as some kind of scientist/smarty pants. I will still annoy them on facebook with music questions and gig requests and see what happens. Until they return I will get back to writing and finish mixing the latest EP which you can expect to hear very soon! Stay strong loyal fans, we will REBUILD! Ben
