Honeygun are now called Belcafe
The respected psychic Professor Mirza of Brighton
Pier, forecast great things for this band. Plenty of Fame, Rock
'n' Cheese Rolls. While waiting for his prediction to materialise
they will keep writing Honey tunes that melt in your mouth, like
Brighton Rock but without the toothache. A shot of Honeygun can
work wonders. Reflective and uplifting songs touching the raw nerve
of pop. It all makes sense when you listen.

History: Originally in a 10-piece band which released a self
financed CD and played such venues as the Mean Fiddler and the Rock
Garden in London UK. Survived identity crisis after the split and
created Honeygun.
How did you meet? Now was it Rascal's or Waitrose cheese counter?
Who is the main songwriter? Songwriting is shared. We usually
take a guitar riff or melody and develop this idea into a song.
Heartline started with a simple bass riff and drum beat.
Influences: Cranberries, Pretenders, Sheryl Crow, Police,
REM
What is the scene like in your area? Brighton has a big and
famous Dance Club Scene, great for D.J.s, not so brilliant for bands.
Apparently, there are about 300 bands/songwriters in East Sussex
with only five suitable live venues in Brighton which even then
arent dedicated to bands only. Having said that, there are some
good bands creating interest from the music industry.
Who or what inspired you to become a musician? Silvia: Watching
Rock
documentaries (not a good live scene in alpine Switzerland).
Rikki: Seeing
great bands live and guitar heroes such as Jimmy Page, Hendrix
and Andy Summers
What are the highs and lows of being in a band? Applause /
No applause
Do you prefer recording in the studio or playing live shows?
Playing live is more of a kick.
Do you have any advice for bands just starting out? Is that
what you really, really want?
Sum up your music in three words: Very tasty indeed
