THE HONEY PIES

BIO

The Honey Pies are:
Jon Marco (rhythm guitar)
Tony Marshall (lead guitar)
Tom McCarthy-Jones (bass guitar)
Marcus Warnecke (drums)

‘Roy Orbison meets the Sex Pistols’ - or so they’ve been told - The Honey Pies combine the unassuming simplicity of post-war pop with the brasher sounds of the modern day, creating music at once nostalgic and revelatory. Pre-post-rock, if you will.

In three years they’ve released three albums, receiving airplay nationally, supported Tim Rogers, Deerhoof, The Jezabels, Leader Cheetah and Ball Park Music, played the Adelaide Big Day Out and had music featured on TV’s ‘Offspring’ and ‘Please Like Me’. Their latest album ‘Coconuts’ was mixed by Neil Thomason (My Disco, Wagons, Crayon Fields) and mastered by Fred Kavorkian (Ryan Adams, Iggy Pop, The National), and is their finest work yet.
