Ben Gillies’ Bento. The countdown to ‘Diamond Days’ album release begins! Fans have the chance to attend the album launch party!
The sparkling debut album by Bento, DIAMOND DAYS, marks a new musical creation from Ben Gillies, drummer and co-founder of Silverchair.
The first single Diamond Days has been embraced by fans at home and abroad. The catchy chorus along with the song’s sentiment made it the perfect unofficial soundtrack of the recent AFL finals (Diamond Days and was used numerous times throughout the semi and grand final broadcasts).

The DIAMOND DAYS album is set for release on Friday, 26 October, 2012.
