After performing together for over five years, two members of Joe Russo’s Almost Dead have confirmed that they will soon debut a new project. The spinoff will feature the band’s namesake, drummer Joe Russo along with keyboard player Marco Benevento. At present they have no official name for the band, which they have been referring to internally as the Benevento Russo Tandem or the Benevento Russo Pairing. There also has been some momentum as of late for Benevento Russo’s Deuce. “The name is still a work in progress,” a source acknowledges. “Since Joe’s name is featured in the acronym JRAD they’ve also considered reversing their initials and exploring that, so BM has been on the table. Or more specifically, BM JR., which seems like a natural for the kids’ shows. We’re still working it out.”

In an unrelated note, Keller Williams has announced a new Keller Williams side project that he’s dubbed Keller Williams.
