KICK ASS FIZZY POP!

About Me

HONEYBUG

Like a phoenix from the flames of their previous acoustic 3-piece incarnation, Honeybug rose again as a 4-piece full-on balls-to-the-wall powerpop/rock live outfit with intricate 4-part vocal harmonies at the Liverpool installment of the world famous International Pop Overthrow music festival in May of 2007... but not just with a new line up and a new sound but with an entire set of completely new songs, too!

Honeybug are currently recording their debut album for indie label Coffeebomb Records which will be released later in 2008. Watch this space for release dates and purchase information.

"If you remember them as that quirky acoustic 3-piece that played last year’s IPO Liverpool, then think again! This band from Edinburgh has completely transformed themselves, and Honeybug is once again a kick ass fizzy pop 4-piece consisting of keys, guitar, bass, drums and 4-part harmony goodness..."

As a result of being as bigger in the States than they were in their native Scotland, the old acoustic three-piece lineup of Honeybug (Ni, Jenna and Heidi) jetted across the Atlantic in October 2006 to play some shows to their friends and fans in Dallas (Texas) and launched their new EP "Naked Songs Vol. 1" while they were there. The CD of Honeybug’s material stripped right down to 3 voices, a piano and a flute is still available.

On the CD:Whole Night Shift Anything For You Whole (Radio Edit)That’s 3 A-sides and a radio edit, not to mention a full transcription of all the lyrics on the inside of the inlay for just £4.50 and that includes postage and packing. Don’t say we’re not good to you!
