The Honey Machine - Buzzin' (Zabozodiac-Lonestar Recordings 2009)



On New Year's Eve 1966, shortly after the last concert of their "Hip in the Himalayas Tour", they disappeared in a mysterious way ... without a trace! For 40 years the real reasons for what happened to "the Honey Machine" remained an unsolvable mystery. That means 40 years ... until today! They are back! Accompany "Sparky", "Prof. Wasiliev", "Groovi Oovi" and the rest of the gang on their return to reality .... "Shake and Shout´till you pass out!"
The new band of the London / Nuremberg sixties legend Mark Lee is extremely dangerous - in a musical sense. In the meantime they appear very rarely, but always leave an amazed audience behind. Their music is wild beat action somewhere between the early "kinks" and the "small faces". Their sound blazes and burns and can hardly be captured - a spectacle in the end.   -Source


MARK LEE started in the early 80's with the East London garage beat band THE SURFADELICS and became a well known act in the garage and mod scene in England. They were among a circle of bands like THE MILKSHAKES, THEE HEADCOATS a.o. In the 90s he continued with several solo releases with BRUCE BRAND (HEADCOATS/MASONICS) and HOLLY GOLIGHTLY. Taking an authentic garagerock style and the incomparable performance of MARK LEE as their starting point, they add in some traditional r'n'b, some organ-based soul or some psychedelic sounds - somehow it all fits together perfectly. Make what you will of this, what they really have is a groovy sound, that makes you dance and shout immediately."   -Source
