Artist History Ben, Rhett and Brett met at a local grocery store in early '98. They formed their first ska band The infamous Grand Pricks with a few other fellow employees. A premature break-up cut down the 'Pricks in a blaze glory. After two years, and a wave of new employees at the grocery store, Ben Rhett and Brett picked up the pieces and began anew with the Manimal sitting in on trumpet. After a few months they even branched out into other places of employment for their members. And the rest is ROCK and ROLL...

Press Reviews Brett's mom wrote this: "The Bteam is simply the freshest and most imspiring band I think I've ever laid ears on. That's why I married Arnel.", An unnamed local rag said this: "The Bteam? Oh yeah that was a great show. I used to be a huge Mr. T fan as a kid..." Richard Manley, the band's feared and respected mentor, writes: "Simply Manimalicious...and you can quote me". So we did.
