Benny Di Massa is celebrating his birthday today.....so hbd to you benny wherever you may be!
Benny Di Massa was Cocteau Twins' first drummer (and spiritual advisor), playing with the band, on tour from January 1994. Born April 25, 1963 of Italian parents in London, Benny played drums from the age of 16. Until working with Cocteaus he filled up his time playing with the Wolfgang Press, AR Kane and Frazier Chorus, amongst others. Saddled with the unenviable task of reproducing Robin's drum programs, Benny coped with style. His affable personality and - unusual for a drummer - his willingness to stop hitting the drums when the rest of the band are trying to talk, made him a welcome addition to the touring family!
