Upbeat, folky, funny neo-beatnik tales of failure, fun, and excess in the wild inner-west are trademark of the narrative poem-songs (or pongs) penned by award-winning playwright and poet, Benito Di Fonzo. Accompanied by veteran bassist Mike Sheehan (Dirty Deeds, Twinkling Stars), drummer Justine Wahlin (Cloudbird) and lead guitarist Pete Fenwick (Cloudbird, Monster Stomp).

Rhum.org.au called Benito's writing, "Clever, witty, sharp and surreal,” while The Sydney Morning Herald said, “Benito Di Fonzo waxes lyrical… about money, Marx and the meaning of life“.
