To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to recommend Buzy B and the Honeycomb Kids as Festival and
concert performers.
Alianait presented this band at our Festival this year and were thrilled with the
result. They opened our Closing Concert with a totally energized and fantastic
performance that had folks up and dancing around the room throughout their set.
They play a fusion of funk, soul, hip hop and rock that is innovative, fresh and
very hot.
Iqaluit audiences had never experienced a band like this before, and they totally
loved them.
I urge you to consider booking them for your event. You will not be disappointed.
Sincerely,
Heather Daley
Executive Director

Bio
This five-piece juggernaut rips through
genres like a bag of Party Mix. One only has
to listen to their 2012 debut CD “B-Hive
Radio” to hear that the comparison to any
one band would be difficult.
A perfect example is artfully combining Hip
Hop, Reggae and Drum N’ Bass all in one
song (“Heart Attack”) which showcases the
band’s eclectic musical tastes. This mix is
displayed in their original songs, as well as in
their interpretations of other artists’ material
spanning hip hop, funk, jazz, rock, and even
a little country.
Within all of the above, they fulfill their
mandate of incorporating scorching solos
and extended jams.
Lyrically, Buzy B’s words are nothing but the
truth, telling stories of her personal struggles
and joys, life in East Van, and the world as
she sees it.
Musically, The Honeycomb Kids combine
the forces of Dennis “The Doctor” Chan
hammering out funky beats and samples,
Matt Creed laying the bass frequencies
through mean rock poses, Sean “Fultone”
Fulton sending harmelodic impetus from the
keys, and Dave “Shreddies For Breakfast”
Pearson slaying with a six string assault.
Buzy B and the Honeycomb Kids are
becoming increasingly known for their
animated stage show, whilst taking the
audience on a complex musical journey.
Live performances incorporate multiple
costume changes; each costume change
reflects the many themes and moods of
the music.
On top of incendiary live performances in
their hometown of Vancouver BC,
(including This Is Strathcona Festival), the
band has made impressions elsewhere.
For example, after playing their first show
on Hornby Island, they were quickly
adopted as “Hornby Island Famous”,
which is a term the savvy locals take quite
seriously.
Their recent performance in Iqaluit,
Nunavut to help close the 2012 Canada
Day weekend Alianait Festival “…totally
energized…” and “…had folks up and
dancing around the room throughout their
set.” The festival organizers remarked that
“…Iqaluit audiences had never experienced
a band like this before, and they
totally loved them!”
Buzy B and The Honeycomb Kids remain
busy (as in Buzy) continuing to craft new
material and are always ready to rock.
