    The Benjamin Gate
    The Benjamin Gate

    Rock band formed in 1998, following the motor vehicle accident and subsequent death of a mutual friend and fellow musician, Benjamin Herbert. Their name, which was also the name of one the entrances into the original city of Jerusalem, was chosen as a tribute to him. The band, along with their manager and co-songwriter Marc "Thux" Theodosiou, left Port Elizabeth and came to the United States in 2001 after David Bach at ForeFront Records heard their demo that they had sent to Nashville for mastering. Years Active: 1998–2003
