About Me

"Really weird arrangements that scrape up against the edge of pop music rules like a grizzly bear with an itch. Combining mad guitar and beautiful vocal dissonance with Jan's untoppable drumming, insightful lyrics, and kind personalities, they're everything a band should be."

For much of the '90s the NYC trio Beekeeper made beautiful rock music and played it around the U.S. and Canada.

Discography: Pineapple-Lady (7'', Feldspar Records), Anywhere Will Do (CD, Muss My Hair), Split Single w/ Ida (7'', Simple Machines), Ostrich (CD, Southern Records), Last & First (CD, Muss My Hair).

Jan Kotik, rest in peace

Jan Kotik has passed away, far far far too young. He fought long and hard against the cancer, but it has taken him. He was and is dearly loved. Goodbye dear friend.
