The band formed in 2008 at a party at singer Matt Fuller’s house. Needing some entertainment, and with a full complement of instruments in the basement (otherwise known as “Man Town”) the four members of Benny Lava jammed together for the first time.
Three hours and several Margaritas later, they looked upon the still packed dance floor and realized they had something here. Since then, they have been playing to packed clubs, private parties, and events in Western Mass.
Partygoers have really responded to the show; known for it’s very danceable and eclectic setlist, quality musicianship, and engaging stage presence.
Available for club shows, parties, weddings, bar mitzva's or wherever folks are in serious need to let loose.
