Formed in 2004 the roots of the Benoit Martiny Band are based in a backroom in a
garage in the small village of Rameldange (Luxembourg).

 

Through the years, the drummer Benoit Martiny developed with his bandmates an
original musical style, that draws its identity from the musical background of the
musicians, ranging from jazz and blues to garage rock, trash, experimental noise.

During the process of refining its style and finding the definitive line-up, the band
released "Jazz goes Garage" in 2005, under a local label.

Their 2nd album, that has been recorded in Brussels, is been called simply "Benoit
Martiny Band" and was released under "Quinto Quarto".

 

The third album titled “Isolation Nation”  is recorded and released in 2010 with a new
bandmate, the sax-player Joao Driessen and a new label/distributor

BadassYogi Productions.

 

This album shows that the band is able to deliver an intense and free music.

BMB is the 1st prize winner of the 2008 Amersfoort Jazz Talent Award, and has been
performing in many different venues in the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Hungary,
France, Belgium, Italy,...
