About Ten Fingers Records
This label was all just a pipe dream until one night in March 2004 Ben Lee shared several ales with Steve Aoki, budding entrepreneur and head of Dim Mak records (who have put out releases by The Kills, The Von Bondies, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Dance Disaster Movement, and many more great bands). Steve offered to help Ben realize his fantasies of a dictatorial musical empire by suggesting Ten Fingers and Dim Mak create a partnership to release music. Over subsequent months Steve and Ben shared weekly power lunches at the Kung Pao Chinese Bistro in Hollywood to plot world domination and eat vegetarian sweet and sour chicken. They are now ready to unveil their plans to the curious.
The debut 7" single for the label is an awesome piece of rock history in the making. Pony Up! present "Heard You Got Action" - a tribute to kissing and telling. Ben Lee offers up a cover of the Modest Mouse insta-classic "Float On". Why? Why not.
