The Weekend


Hello chums

It's been a while since you've had an update from me, but if you've 'liked' our Facebook page (and I highly suggest you do) you're probably up to speed with all the recent happenings. However if you're not, this is just the place to get up to date with us Honeybone kids.

Drew, Alex (our new flatmate) and I had a party. It was leopard print themed. It was glorious. Drew climbed things and I joined in on a ukelele jam. The next day (I was hideously hungover), we ventured to Pentridge Prison with our friend Andy Weston to take some Honeybone snaps. We got some good ones, some bad ones and some hilarious ones. Some will never see the light of day (one of me in particular). They'll be put up on the Facebook, but here's a couple of my favourites.





That last one is great. Thanks Andy!

Another cool thing we did was SET THE DATE FOR THE ALBUM RELEASE! Yep, after two years, it's finally happening. We've got my cool twin Kelsie working on album artwork and I have even written lists if things that need to be done. I am so very organised. We're not quite ready to go public with the exact date, but it is in mid October. We'll be doing preorders through our bandcamp and even merch deals. The next couple of weeks are going to be focused on getting mixing done (it's sounding AWESOME), and then all the other fun stuff to do with releasing an album will happen.

This last weekend, we played two shows and both were amazing. Friday night we played at The Retreat on Sydney Road with a band from Perth called the Trigger Jackets. It was rad. We hadn't played the Retreat before, and we hope to do it again, what a cool venue. I especially like the stage. The Trigger Jackets were great, if you're ever over Perth way and want to hear some good music, you should check them out, they have an album and everything (that's one ahead of us). Here is their Facebook page.

Saturday night we played DV8 with Massive and Virtue. What a fucking awesome gig that was. I'm probably going to sound a bit up myself a little but we were TIGHT. Every song we played was great, Drew did a lot of cool rock star moves and I drummed like Animal. Our friend was filming the evening, so keep an eye out for some footage in the near future. Virtue were awesome too, and Massive are truly a band that needs to be seen to be believed. Their frontman Brad was everywhere at once, and they even had a burlesque dancer. They are also really nice guys, and we can't wait to play with them again! 
Our next gig is at Penny Black on September 6th with our mates Cotangent. That'll be a great night, and it's free entry!  Get amongst it yo

We always do.
