You can’t help but feel a little dirty when looking at this flier for Honey Pistol‘s show at Long Wong’s this Saturday, April 10.
Ladybugs are supposed to be pretty and sweet–not insects you’d expect to see banging each other. But hey, at least they’re doing it on a flower, and that does make it seem a little more innocent.
And it’s fitting that there are ladybugs on the flier, not bees or grasshoppers. After all, there’s a lot of girl power in the group, with three female members, including singer/guitarist Jenny Bruce. The group cites Fiona Apple as one of its influences, and it’s no
surprise–many of the songs tell stories, and the melodies and vocals
are often emotional and haunting. But Bruce insists the show will put a smile on your face.
“Feast your ears on harmonies, guitar solos, violin, clarinet, banjos and fun, happy times!” she says.
When news happens, Phoenix New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
And she’s not kidding about the array of instruments–this may be one of the only local bands you’ll see with a full-time clarinet player.
In addition to Honey Pistol, Bruce promises, “There is a great line up of eclectic music in store for all you who come out,” including local band Mergence. The all-ages show is free.
