Hi everyone,
I thought now would be as good a time as any to give you an update on all things Honey Bane.
Back in August this year I was invited to play the part of Bette May (Tiger Woman) in a short feature movie called
"What Shall We Do With The Drunken Sailor".
This is a dark period piece, set in London, Soho, in the 1930's, bohemian society.
The film is based on the life of artist/model, Nina Hamnett,
The cast includes myself, Siobhan Fahey (Bananrama & Shakespeares Sister), Benjamin Jason Reeves, Clive Arrindell, and Donny Tourette ( Celebrity Big Brother & Towers of London, among others.
Written/Directed by Chris Ward of the Wet Paint Theatre Company & Produced by James Martin Charlton.
Some of the notable characters portrayed in the film include the famous occultist Alistaire Crowley,Roger Fry.. the famous art historian, and Virginia Woolfe, the renowned English author, feminist, essayist, publisher, and critic.
I will let you all know when it's being shown to the public.
Anyone interested in seeing the 1st official public viewing (which could be as soon as two weeks from now) let me know and I will contact you with details as soon as I have them.
I have been recording new tracks for the album, including a re-make of Violence Grows!
I felt it was important to bring this song up to date lyrically, in line with the current climate of violence we live with today.
I don't think anyone will be disappointed with it, it's changed little musically, I consider it to have been enhanced, having lost nothing of it's original uniqueness.
It won't be available on myspace though, only on the album.
The album will be released by end of February/March 09 and it's release will be announced in advance on myspace.
So far as playing live is concerned, you can expect me to be doing live performances from as early as March 09.
Anyone who is familiar with the John Peel Festival in Germany can expect to see me there next year too.
All shows will be advertised on myspace in advance, and I certainly hope to meet with a lot of you.
Most of you are just too far away for me to get to know you any better! So hopefully I will get to play somewhere near you next year.
On Saturday December 6th I will be doing a 3 hour live special radio show as a guest of Mark Watkins.
Please check out his myspace for details of how to tune in.
It should be an eye opening and interesting few hours!
Tee Shirts will become available at the same time as the album...
and!
Here is your chance to tell me what kind of tee's you would like to see?
There are some new pix up in "My Photos", also there is a new Photo Album with a few stills, of me grabbed from the moving reel from the recent movie.
No I'm not looking pretty, I'm psychotic, living my acting role, ha ha...
You can expect to hear me as a guest on someone elses album later this year!
OK! I have co-written a new song with Luca Comencini
of Adreenalize, I will be one of many guests featuring on the new Adreenalize album, the track may possibly be released as a single though that is yet to be confirmed.
You can find Adreenalize below.
If I have forgotten anything I will add it later.
Thanks for reading, and know I appreciate you all. I am truly humbled by the loyalty and support of so many of you out there, I know I am blessed! So THANK YOU...you are all my friends.
Love Honey Bane xx
