Biography

During the 1990s, Graves and his friend Eric Griffin moved to Los Angeles from Boston to join the Industrial rock band known as Synical. In the 2000s Graves joined the Murderdolls with friend Eric Griffin after a video tape of the two jamming with guitarist Tripp Eisen was shown to the rest of the band. Although Graves features in the album artwork and promotional videos, he did not play on the Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls album, although he did tour the world with the band.

While the Murderdolls project is on hiatus, Ben has drummed live with the bands Dope, AntiProduct and Nocturne.
