The good news about last night’s Honeybee show at The Waiting Room: A number of people told me they came out specifically to see Honeybee – a testament to the level of interest in the band. The bad news: Honeybee didn’t perform due to illness. Instead, a cute member of Honeybee did a nice solo acoustic set. Looks like I’ll have to keep waiting to see these guys. With an early morning on my agenda, I left before Noah’s Ark and Baby Walrus played.

In signing news: Team Love announced yesterday that it signed NYC twangsters The Felice Brothers and will release their self-titled debut March 4, followed by a double-vinyl version in April. The band opened for Bright Eyes last year, including the famed Radio City Music Hall performance. The term “Sunday BBQ sing-alongs” is used on their one-sheet and accurately distills what this 4-piece is all about. You’ll be able to check them out for yourself when they open for Drive By Truckers at Slowdown Feb. 25. They’ll be touring with labelmates McCarthy Trenching in March.
