'Soul On Fire' Two Year Anniversary Release!

Sometimes I think two years is a REALLY long time. Then sometimes I think it's a very short time. It doesn't seem like two years ago that we released our EP 'Soul On Fire, but tomorrow it will officially be two years ago. And that makes me feel a little lazy, as two years without releasing anything is kind of bad, considering we've got about 15 songs that were written since then.

But never fear! The next few months is going to be release-central, as tomorrow we are re-releasing the EP on bandcamp for FREE in a special two-year anniversary pack. With the original package comes an extra track that was on the dunedinmusic.com download pack called 'Hotshot Stereo', bonus track 'Mouse and The Beetle' (included on the physical copy of the EP as a bonus track) and for all you hipsters out there who liked us before we were cool, a very low-fi, slightly amateurish demo of 'I'll Be Your Devil', recorded by Drew about two weeks after the song was written.

Recorded when we looked like this. What teenyboppers!

To download the anniversary edition of our EP, go to www.honeybone.bandcamp.com after 8am Monday 16th July (that's in Sydney/Melbourne time).

Yay!

The next exciting news in Honeybone World (sounds like an amusement park lol) is the fact that we have a single that is ALMOST ready for release! Yay! Considering we recorded it about a year ago (oops lazy fairy has struck again), it's been a long time coming. It is called 'Don't Need You', hopefully you Dunedin cats will remember it as a fairly catchy number that graced many a setlist. Drew is currently mixing the track and altering the guitars, we'll master it and sort out some sort of artwork (anyone who would like to contribute art/ideas is most welcome, we all suck at art) then it'll be RELEASE time! E.T.A will be within one month hopefully. Keep your eye out, it's gonna be wicked cool.

This is a photo of one of our gigs, doesn't it look fun?

Surely the most exciting news we have as a band is the fact that we have GIGS! Yay! Specifically, a gig next SATURDAY 21st July (so soon!) at a place called Blue Tile Lounge on Smith Street in Fitzroy. We are on at 8pm and the entry is free. There are three awesome bands playing with us, go to this page https://www.facebook.com/events/433612420016245/ for more information. But you know, its FREE. There's not really any kind of excuse not to, since it's the first gig we've played here that isn't on a school night. Come on down and have a beer with us, even my Mum is going to be there.

Our next gig after that is August 12th at Espy in St Kilda. We have a ridiculous number of tickets to sell (well, 50, it's not really that ridiculous) at $12 each and we get $3 back from each ticket sold. We'd love to sell a lot so if you want to get your hot little hands on one, give me a bell at rachel@honeybonemusic.com.

Remember: 8am Monday 16th July 2012!
