- Benjamin Curtis (musician)
Benjamin Curtis is one third of School of Seven Bells, in which he sings and plays instruments in addition to his guitar. Benjamin was the guitarist and backing vocalist for the rock band The Secret Machines until March 2007, when, according to the band's website, he left to pursue a career in a band which was previously his side project. He is the brother of Brandon Curtis, who plays bass guitar and keyboards for the The Secret Machines. Born in Lawton, Oklahoma, he currently resides in New York City.
Curtis cites guitarists such as Michael Rother, Yoshimi P-We, and The Edge of U2 as some of his primary influences on guitar. He plays a heavily effects-laden spacy style of guitar, reminiscent of late 1960s and early 1970s psychedelic rock.
