Where did the time go?
When I started this wee blog to promote the awesomeness of Honeybone (lol), I thought to myself: 'Yeah, I'll probably write 5 or so posts and get bored and forget about it'.
Well I proved myself wrong didn't I? In your face, me!
Things are looking up on the Honeybone front. We have over 700 fans on facebook, so it's only another 300 until we can apply for a NZ on Air grant.

As I mentioned in my last post, we have recently parted ways with Joshua (guitarist extraordinaire). We played our first gig as a three piece on Thursday in Invercargill. We were a felt some trepidation towards the gig, as the last time we played in Invercargill (see blog: First Taste Of Tour), we didn't have much of a crowd and twas a rather large cavernous venue.
Not this time! We played at a bar called Tillermans, which I understand has been recently renovated. What a mean wee place! It's a perfect size for a band like us (could probably hold 150-200), and the decor was gorgeous! Of course only a girly girl like me would care about that sort of thing but there you go.
We drove down and arrived around 9.30. We couldn't believe our eyes (and luck) when we reached the top of the stairs and found Tillerman's to be rather full with lots of cool, alty, pierced people. Not a hipster to be seen. All I could think was that had it been in Dunedin, the only people there at that time of night would be the bar/security staff casually shooting up some pool.
It was a wicked gig. We went on second, and had a heap of fun playing the random wee stage with massive drum riser. Drum risers are where it's at. We could only stay for the band after us, as we had to drive back to Dunedin that night. Phoney Dog were up next and were fucking AWESOME! What an amazing bunch of talented young studs. Check them out on facebook. We missed the other ones, sadly as we had to boost it back to Dunedin cause we had class the next day.
Drew has been a busy wee bee in the mixing department, and we have a little taster to get ya'll excited about the album.

And that's the way the cookie crumbles.
