Frank Benbini (born Mark Francis Reid, 21 September 1974 in Leicester, England) is the British drummer and one third of Fun Lovin' Criminals (FLC).
Benbini joined FLC as their drummer in May 2003 – although he had known the band for many years previously (their first meeting was at Rock City in Nottingham in 1996)[1] – after having worked for a while as Mackie's technician.
Based in Leicester, England, the Make It Nice Brothers perform in two bands, Uncle Frank[3] and Fatal Star.
[4] These two bands each have different musical styles to the Fun Lovin' Criminals - Uncle Frank first being described as "the music from the Jungle Book blended with Barry White's lush soul vibe and some genius songwriting a la Burt Bacharach"[5] and Fatal Star[6] as "devastating campfire harmonies with a mystical eastern edge for arrangements.
[10] In 2017, Uncle Frank released the album Love Lion which received strong reviews in the indie press.
