The Honeybees are primarily known for the
tight vocal harmonies of Barbara Clifford and Rachel Decker along
with the explosive drumming of co-founder and long-time Chicago music
scene mainstay, Theresa Drda. 1950's
Rockabilly meets roots meets the early 1960's would describe the
band's musical bent, but from there, the Honeybees move into a tight,
modern energy mode that's driven by guitarists Shawn Koch, Mark
Braun, and bassist, Michael Hogeorges.
The band's influences range from rockabilly
and roots legends including Wanda Jackson, Janis Martin, Brenda
Lee, Chuck Berry, The Sonics, Ricky Nelson, and T-Bone Walker, to
modern artists such as Rosie Flores and The Paladins.
The Honeybees have shared the stage as an opening
act for artists including, Rosie Flores, Los Straight Jackets, Wanda
Jackson, Junior Brown, and the Paladins. They've played venues throughout
Chicago and the U.S. and festivals such as the "Hollywood Showdown"
at The Knitting factory, in Seattle at the "Shake the Shack
Rockabilly Ball" at Tractor Tavern, and will be at "Viva
Las Vegas" 2005, at "50's Rockabilly Weekender" at
Green Bay Casino 2005, and at "Screamin' Festival" in
Barcelona, Spain 2005.
