Annotation
The Honey Pot formed as a five piece band in 2012. Playing a blend of Sixties psyche that has its boots in the past but its head in the future, they draw on that unique English inheritance of the surreal and the strange, but are not afraid to indulge in an American West-Coast style adventure when the mood takes them. Purveying a warm brew of hazy recollections and black penny grooves they are thoroughly groovy.
Although thoroughly unique, The Honey Pot would probably admit the following influences, The Yardbirds, The Doors, The Small Faces, Jefferson Airplane, Donovan, The Kinks, The Flaming Groovies, Spirit, The Hollies, The Jeff Beck Group, Love, Kevin Ayers, The Rolling Stones….
The band released its début album, ‘To The Edge Of The World’ in 2013 and gigged regularly around their native West Country. On one of their many excursions into the deepest, darkest corners of Dartmoor, they misplaced singer Iain Crawford, who was later found in Copenhagen.
Unable to persuade him to return they soldiered on and contributed a track to the charity album 'Home For Christmas'. Featuring their bassist on vocals, it marked another turning point in the band’s career as he too decided to fly the nest. Now operating as a slimmed-down three piece, The Honey Pot are about to embark on the next stage in their journey with a new EP for Fruits De Mer in 2014.
