Honey B and the Stingers

[RobE]

In an awkward mishmash of both etymology and entomology I must confess that I am drawn to Honey B like a moth to a flame.

Who else has the stature and the looks of a goddess? Who sings like an angel? Who has a twinkle in her eye and a clever turn of phrase with just the possibility of naughtiness?

The Stingers are a tight “show band” style combo with keyboards and sax augmenting the guitar and drums core.

I have not enjoyed a Shadows' instrumental so much since Shadoogie left town. All the Stingers needed to completely conjure of the spirit of Hank B was the guitar line-up all doing a box step.

Hey - Hank B / Honey B. I wonder if they are related?

And I love the way the Stingers play the Thunderbirds Wild Weekend.

I totally enjoyed the show at Dandy Workers and loved the way Honey B and the band worked the audience.

What a hoot! The band was not ready to play La Bamba so they did Twist and Shout with a few Speedy Gonzales cartoon “mexicanisms” thrown in. And it worked. Try running the two songs side by side and see.

Honey B and the Stingers; another blessing for dancers in the Melbourne Rock’n’Roll scene.
