Benjamin James May (born May 8th 1977; in Montreal Canada). Lives in Richmond, BC.
After growing up with his father strumming a guitar and singing around the house, it was only natural for Ben to pick it up. In 2000, ben started a band "Acoustic Side Project". They played a few shows in and around Winnipeg Manitoba. In 2001, the band broke up, as the drummer, Chris Holmes, was moving back to New Castle England to get married. Ben's Bass Player was going back to school. So, Ben started working on his solo career.

The Canadian rock'n'roll band consists of vocalist and guitarist Danko Jones, bassist John Calabrese and drummer Dan Cornelius (who took over the drumsticks from Damon Richardson, just before releasing the "Sleep Is The Enemy"-album early 2006). To distinguish the band from the singer, Jones (which is not his real name) is also known by the nickname The Mango Kid. The band first received attention in Canadian indie rock circles for its 1999 EP My Love is Bold, an unabashedly sex-drenched blend of blues and punk sung with swaggering confidence by Jones, in a suit and on occasion, a fedora.
