The Bennies' Top Five Partystarters

"A bit of hairy competition to get some hilarious banter going."

Ultimate party band, The Bennies, have just released a banging new album Wisdom Machine and are on a national Australian tour with US mates Off With Their Heads and Adelaide band Hightime. See them playing Saturday April 2 at the Amplifier, Perth along with Perth's own At the Space Jam and Sunday April 3 at Prince of Wales, Bunbury with Suburban and Coke.

Top five party starters with The Bennies.

  1. Vodka, cranberry and lime!!!

This drink will get me out of any hangover and into ultimate party mode. Fresh and life giving... also got that sweet sweet vodka. In fact on the weekend we were drinking jugs of the stuff! goodness gracious

  1. Beer pong!

This is a great party starter... in fact good at most moments in the night to be honest. Nothing much better than sports booze and screaming at each other. A bit of hairy competition to get some hilarious banter going. The banter bury tales

  1. Sweet sweet party bangers!

Obviously tunes are going to get the party started. I feel like its best when one person dominates the stereo - let them go through the ups and downs. Nothing worse than a bunch of half songs! Any music can be gold for cranking the party... especially Queen.

  1. Chronic

Sometimes this may work against the party... put people to sleep and that. It can also lead to some of the funniest conversations and laughs you'll ever have. Which is why its a great party starter. creates confusion and hilarious misunderstandings

  1. The Bennies!!!

The bennies are the ultimate party starter! Whether it be us shooting the shit or just playing our tunes at your party... bound to get people losing their shit... hahahahah ... (please don't take this one too seriously... I'm having a gag)! :)
