About Robert Levon Been

  • Robert Levon Been (born August 22, 1978), previously known by the stage name Robert Turner, is an American musician and singer.
  • He is currently a member of the rock band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and was, for a time, a bass player in a band known as The Beggars, going under the name 'Robert Locke'.
  • He is the son of Michael Been of The Call, and appeared as bassist on his father's 1994 solo album, On the Verge of a Nervous Breakthrough. His father suffered a fatal heart attack in 2010 while working as a sound engineer during the Pukkelpop festival in Belgium, where BRMC were appearing.
  • Robert Been used the pseudonym 'Robert Turner' on Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's first two records, in an attempt not to be linked to his father.
  • He later dropped this identity when promoting their third album, "Howl".
  • In 2013, BRMC covered his father's song 'Let The Day Begin' on their album Specter at The Feast.
  • Later that year, he appeared in two concerts with a reunited The Call, taking his father's place on bass and vocals.
