About Me

Like fire constantly changing and hard not to look at. We sneak into friends houses at night and trade their TV's for naval oranges. But more importantly than that we play music. We've been playing music together for about five years. Every month or so our style changes. We are products of our environment. Half the year dark and cold, the other half endless daylight, endless vibrant energy. Been to Fairbanks? We're pretty much all nuts. We try to play music that accomodates yet balances the mood swings of the emerging generation plagued by the chaos of shit accumulation. In other words we have songs for everyone. Our debut studio CD, "Infinity's Doorstop" (2005) and our live CD "Live at the Sitzmark" (2006), draw from a variety of idioms including Latin, Dancehall, Reggae, Southern Rock, R&B, Klesmer, Psychobilly, Jazz and Hip-Hop. Though, none of these songs exactly resemble any one of these styles. They are epics so to speak plagued by our own hippiebilly vision. Our highly anticipated, and as yet un-named, second studio album is due to be released in Febrauary of 2008.


My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/27/2005
Band Website: sweatinghoney.net
Band Members: Luke Beckel, Drew Frick, Corwyn Wilkey, Jeremiah Bakken, Brady Anderson, Scott Cadell and Nick Shier.
Influences: The Dead,Pixies,Miles Davis,Keith Jarret,Dylan,Modest Mouse,Bob Marley,Rage against the Machine,New Orleans Klezmer Allstars, Prince, Ween, SimpleRed, Alman Bros.,Ravi Shankar, Soullive, Stanley Bros., Neil Young, Jurassic 5, Bill Monroe, Ani Defranco, Calexico, hell whoever we happen to be listening to at the time. The intercontinuity of all things and non-things is ubiquitous...dig?
Sounds Like: Zach DeLa Rocha singing love songs to Steven Tyler's daughter at a Russian funeral. Steven gets pissed off because he realizes he's at the wrong funeral...and starts crying over the memory of Johnny Cash. Ziggy Marley always to the rescue with the sun is shining, cheers him up with some Colly Weed. In all of this hysteria of loss, love, new beginings and years of drug induced melodrama, Santana gets inspired to do an album with all of the above, and a bonus track with that new guy from Maroon Five, using the SNL band for back up. Does it win another fifty billion grammys? You decide.
Record Label: Royal Jelly Records

Well, actually, our dearest Kona explained it to us thusly: "You gotta visit your Jewish friends."
