    <description>Benko formed in August 2003 with members of the Golden Arm Trio, Tosca Tango Orchestra and New Music Co-op.  In late 2005 the band self-released a 7 song EP, &amp;quot;An International Affair&amp;quot;, and are currently working on their first full length recording. The new 10 song LP should be completed by December 2007.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/benko&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Listen at Last.fm&lt;/a&gt;</description>
