Ben Lee was born 26 years ago in Sydney, Australia.
Ben’s musical coming out was at the age of 14 with a poppy, punk rock band called Noise Addict, circa 1993.
As Ben describes it, “It was the perfect teenage rock thing.” But clearly more ambitious than his band-mates, it wasn’t long before Ben began concentrating on a solo career.

 Ben Lee - PopMatters Concert Review
It seemed that Lee's guest players had to keep on their toes, as you couldn't guess where he might go from one minute to the next.
Lee introduced that selection as his contribution to a split 7" single (on his new indie label, Ten Fingers) he recently did with indie girl group Pony Up, whose fawning "Matthew Modine" -- complete with Liz Phair-homage lyrics ("We want to be your blow job queens") -- he also played.
Performing before Lee was San Francisco-based singer-songwriter Sean Hayes, an unfamiliar face to the 50 or so people actually paying attention to the stage area of the venue.

Ben Lee was Australia's rock phenomenon of the 1990s.
Following the lead from Beck, Lee turned 180 degrees on Breathing Tornados (Grand Royal, 1998) and adopted a modern-day instrumentation of computers, keyboards, samplers and drum-machines, besides enrolling a small army of collaborators: Ed Buller (producer for Suede, Pulp, Spiritualized), Harmony Korine (director of "Gummo" and "Kids"), Petra Hayden (That Dog), and Donovan.

 Ben Lee
Lee himself played acoustic guitar the whole night, and while this is no doubt pop music and pretty tightly arranged pop music at that, the combination of his sweet, simple guitar patterns and straightforward, slightly vulnerable voice suggested that this is a pop/rock artist with a folk soul.
Still, after seeing a live show, the songs on a CD are often hung with the memory of the live artist for me. Which, in Ben Lee's case, is a very good thing, indeed.
Lee's approach becomes more a meditation in the listening, something that seems quite in line with his obvious spiritual bent.

Australian singer-songwriter Ben Lee is, without a doubt, one of those lucky few.
Lee has toured with Ben Folds and Ben Kweller as The Bens; penned songs with Jason Schwartzman; and recorded with everyone from Kylie Minogue to our own beloved Har Mar Superstar.
And Lee's organic approach to songwriting is doubtless responsible for the unaffected quality of its 14 tracks.

 Amazon.com: Awake Is the New Sleep: Music: Ben Lee   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Ben Lee has been a mainstay on alternative rock airwaves; it’s hard to believe the Australian singer/songwriter is still only 26.
But there is evidence of a newfangled wisdom in Lee and his sketches of songwriting dexterity, which include the distinctive pop-rocker ("Catch My Disease"), the persuasive ballad ("Get Gotten"), the adoring folk number ("The Debt Collectors") and an indulgently experimental nine-and-a-half minute opus ("Light").
While the album was mostly put to bed before Lee took the last train to Dumpsville and Danes grabbed herself a piece of fellow actor Billy Crudup, the pained delivery of Ache For You surely signifies a bluesy tribute to Lee's lost leading lady.

 Ink 19 :: Ben Lee
Lee may sport blue glitter polish on his fingernails and show adolescent delight at discovering a rare, Australian fanzine in the store's upstairs office ("It's probably a collector's item!" he declares) but the sophisticated sound of Breathing Tornados is anything but kid stuff.
Recorded entirely on computers and produced by Ed Buller of the Psychedelic Furs, the album gathers a dozen emotionally dense lyrical journeys where Lee ponders love and death, hope and surrender with the intuition and poise of a man twice his age.
Ben Lee : For me, a record coming out is the beginning of a really long time of work, so it's kind of a psychological thing.

The resulting collection of a dozen songs is dark and sexy, a reflection of Lee standing at the end of this latest stage in his life, declaring “I’m a mess” and then creating art that, by turns, admits wrongs, purges demons and celebrates the learning curve: “I needed to just let it rip.”
But Lee says it’s the “pure and uncontrolled” approach he takes into recording which allows his work to breath and take its inevitable, winning shape: “I try to leave room to surprise myself.”

When Grand Royal folded after the release of Ben Lee's third album, he was thrown into artistic limbo in the U.S., incapable of building on the momentum from his sorta successful third album, Breathing Tornados.
Despite a few low-key tours in 2001 -- when he debuted most of the material from what would become his fourth album -- he dropped off the radar, relegated to the status of "Claire Danes'; boyfriend" and little else.
After Pavement announced they were going on hiatus at the end of 1999, the status of one of America's finest indie rock bands was a mystery for the first half of 2000.

His next two releases explored a more mature style, showing a bold artistic confidence less evident in his earlier, more playful work.
