Honeytrap / Petrushka “Balkan-inspired slice of craziness...Puts me in mind of some of Camper Van Beethoven's finer moments.” - David Bowie, The Times
WW Gallery and Crooked Teeth present the Launch Party for Honeytrap's new album Petrushka on Thursday 2nd September 2010, 7pm til late at Bethnal Green Working Men's Club.
Energetic, irreverent and impossible to pin down, Honeytrap have forged an exciting and unconventional sound which embraces klezmer, folk, alt.rock and the more outré elements of pop. New album Petrushka brings these influences together into their strongest and most compelling release yet. David Bowie recognised the band's potential when he put them at the top of a new music poll in the The Times.
Honeytrap's launch gig will have amazing support in the form of the enchanting Olivia Chaney, who recently toured with Zero 7 and there will be puppetry and performance from the uniquely talented Monooka. Chris The Rock'n'Roll Town Crier will
compère
and DJ, plus there is art from WW Gallery's Boa Swindler and Sardine & Tobleroni.
