Spearheaded by a mélange of vintage keyboard grooves, fronted by a soulful croon, and layered with dynamic rhythms, Honeycut joins keyboardist/arranger RV Salters, singer Bart Davenport, and drum programmer Tony Sevener. After meeting through mutual friends in the Bay Area in 2003, the three experimented with sounds in Salters’ home studio, and soon began laying down tracks that would become their debut album The Day I Turned To Glass.

A three-piece band pioneering a unique form of modern soul, Honeycut bridges classic song craft with orchestral instrumentation and cutting-edge production. The Day I Turned To Glass augments live strings and horns upon a base of drums and keys, melded together with enchanting vocals. Dark and moody, with just the right touch of playfulness, Honeycut has created epic funk that you can dance to.


MUSIC: House DJs Michael Stock and Benjamin White of Sunday night’s PART TIME PUNKS at The Echo in Echo Park

Michael Stock and Benjamin White, DJs and hosts of PART TIME PUNKS will spin tracks spanning the history of D.I.Y. (Do-It-Yourself) music rooted in punk, dub, pop, jazz, and ska. These sounds were made cheap, quick, and are rife with contradiction. Their set of scratchy sounds—from the brink of collapse and Xerox music made to last—is inspired by the current exhibition Poetics of the Handmade.

PART TIME PUNKS is a club created and run by DJs Michael Stock and Benjamin White that takes over the noted Echo Park live music venue, The Echo on 1822 Sunset, every Sunday night. The night focuses heavily on obscure and classic music coming out of America, the UK and Europe from 1978 to the present: Punk, Post-punk, Punk-funk, New Wave, No Wave, Indie-Pop, Twee, Grunge, Electro, Minimal-Synth, Shoegaze and Baggy.
