Ben Folds Five (Бен Фолдс Файв)
Piano-pop-группа BEN FOLDS FIVE на самом деле никакие не BEN FOLDS FIVE, а скорее BEN FOLDS THREE, ведь Ben Folds (вокал, фоно), Robert Sledge (бас) и Darren Jesse (ударные) даже при самом нелепом раскладе не дадут в сумме пяти. Теперь попробуйте отгадать, какой вопрос чаще всего задают группе журналисты, которые, складывая 1+1+1, неизменно, упрямо, идиосинкразически получают сами знаете что. А как вы думаете, что BEN FOLDS FIVE отвечают на этот вопрос? Как Бог на душу положит. От «а нам просто нравится, когда нас об этом спрашивают» до «так мы выбиваем больше номеров в гостинице, еды, женщин. Мы же Бен Фолдз Пять!». Такие вот они хитрые, и, похоже, мистер Бен Фолдз - самый хитрый из этой тройки.
Будучи начинающим музыкантом, Бен играл в группе под названием MAJOSHA, выпустившей EP «Party Night: Five Songs About Jesus». На ЕР было только четыре песни, и ни одна из них не была про Иисуса. Кроме того, что Бен Фолдз шутник (однако!), он еще и рояли на сцене переворачивает вверх ногами. Read more on Last.fm.

Ben Folds Five is a trio formed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States in 1994, who until their breakup in 2000 were a mainstay of Piano rock. Much of their work was influenced by jazz, evident in frequent improv-styled passages through bridge and/or ending.
The members of the band are Ben Folds, the lead singer and pianist, who also wrote most of the songs; Robert Sledge on bass; and Darren Jessee on drums. The group enjoyed the success of the single Brick in 1997, a ballad written by Folds (with a chorus by Jessee) about his high school girlfriend getting an abortion. This song has, to a large degree, misrepresented the band to fans who aren't familiar with their other work; "Brick" is a serious ballad, whereas most of their music is characterised by jazz inflections and witty, humorous lyrics.
After the band's not-so amicable breakup in October 2000 over Ben's over shadowing of Sledge and Jessee, Folds began a solo career. Robert Sledge's subsequent band International Orange has broken up, while Darren Jessee is the frontman for the band Hotel Lights.
Folds once described their music as "punk rock for pussies" - a reaction to the angst prevalent in 90s rock. When asked about his band's name he jokingly responded "you mean a trio isn't five?". In other interviews the band said that the name was simply because Ben Folds Five sounded better than Ben Folds Three.
Ben Folds has continued with producing music on his own, striking a subtler tone than Ben Folds Five's earlier recordings. His personal relationship with William Shatner has opened the doors for a great professional one. Ben Folds produced William Shatner's album Has Been and they have since worked together on The 'Over The Hedge' soundtrack.
On September 18, 2008 at the UNC Memorial Hall in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, the band reunited for the first time in nearly 10 years for one special gig playing their critically acclaimed final album: The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner in its entirety.
The House Songfacts reports that the trio got together in 2011 to record three new Ben Folds Five songs for the compilation,The Best Imitation of Myself: A Retrospective.
Prior to the Ben Folds Five, Ben Folds was in the Greensboro, NC based band Majosha which beat "The Blind Mice" (among other bands) in a battle of the bands at Duke University in Durham NC in the late 80s. Blind Mice drummer Fred McIntyre and Ben Folds met years later in New Orleans where they discussed this incredibly important event.
It was announced in August 2011 that the band would reunite to record a new album in December 2011, although no word of a tour has yet been announced. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
