Benjamin Starshine formed in Portland in late 2005 when singer/guitarist Ben Starshine (formerly of The Shrills) met up with violinist Pekio Vergotis to arrange and produce some of his solo work. After collaborating, recording and performing together for a year, the duo was joined by drummer Michael Ford (Rick Bain and the Genius Position) and Bassist Lance Dinauer (Go Fever), and so a star was born...

Their first LP (Self Titled), recorded at Revolver Studios with engineer, Colin Hegna (BJM) and jointly at their home studio, is a moody record, full of ups and downs. Drawing from influences such as The VU, Spacemen 3, Plastic Ono Band and Elliott Smith, the effect- although a reminder of the past and sometimes lands far-east, is also something new and very much a testament of Portland/Now.
