Short Bio
Grungy indie rock duo Turbo Widget channels classic groups like Led Zeppelin and The Doors while blending modern British influences such as Muse and Royal Blood. Turbo Widget’s bluesy riffs and catchy melodies create a signature rock sound. About Turbo Widget’s Lyrics
“Some of our lyrics such as ‘Calling’ come from dark places in our past and from frustrations with the current eco

nomic disparity in the world. We are constantly sold ideas that maintain the status quo. Instead of striving to improve the human condition, we become part of the human “rat” race. Competition is valued more than cooperation and it’s the negative of how it should be. When we were writing “Stardust”, there were some of the lyrics that were based on actual events from our lives. There were a large periods of our lives that were filled with violence, fear, and anxiety. It’s cathartic to transform some of those negative memories to push forward with momentum toward a brighter future.”
King & Dragon-Based on a real life touching story of friendship. King & Dragon is about two childhood friends. They actually did call each other King & Dragon. Dragon passes away far too young and King puts his dear friends ashes in small bottles (film canisters) and sends them with friends and loved ones to be spread around the world and even into space. As the chorus states "Take me with you when you go" would most definitely have been Dragon's last wish before passing on as they had dreams of travelling together. Brief history
Turbo Widget consists of Ben and Kimberly Hanvy (Guitar and Bass respectively). Louis, Missouri came to be when in 2013 Ben and Kim Hanvy decided to start playing music together despite no prior musical instrument training. Ben who grew up in New Orleans singing acapella occasionally in church and apprenticed as a worship leader in his late teens. He then was a refugee to the midwest following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 after flood waters took his home and all belongings. He rebuilt his life in St. Louis working in eyeglass manufacturing where he met Kimberly. Kim says she never had any interest in playing music until she met Ben and they picked up instruments, both not learning how to play until their mid 30’s. Turbo Widget’s studio drummer Danny Pica recently moved to St louis from Detroit and was previously the drummer of Detroit based alt-rock band Odayin. After winning many “Battle of the Bands” Odayin was awarded "Local Band/Artist with the Best chance to go National" in Detroit Metrotimes Weekly's Best of Detroit 2010 issue.

Branching into portraiture to honor a dear friend. This piece for Thomas Lakey captures his quiet strength and will hang permanently above his long-time home. Part of our mission to celebrate the vibrancy of place.

There was a time when we weren’t sure what the future held. Between unexpected hearing loss and the loss of our studio in a fire, the path wasn’t always clear.
But in those hardships, we found new creative avenues. This work in progress represents more than just paint on a wall—it’s a testament to resilience. By leaning into the evocative power of color and visual art, Turbo Widget is finding its voice again, louder and brighter than ever.

Thank you to the STL community for sticking with us on this journey. 💜💚
