THE BEES: Who Cares What The Question Is?

Sure it seems honky tonky, but its really the next psychedelic single from post-post-retro-rockers the Bees (or as they're called in the US, A Band Of Bees). Again defying their Isle of Wright origins for dusty Americana sounds, the six piece recruit auteur Chris Hopewell to direct this sunshine on the horizon plasticine magic van slash Moby Dick adventure slash city tour bus clip. All I know is this band always looks like they're having fun. Watch the music video (qt).

THE BEES: Listening Man

Okay. Here's my tiny rant: why the hell is this goddamn record only available on import? I walked into the local record store and to my delight, this lovely third album from The Bees was on sale! On closer inspection, it was priced at $32.99. HIGHWAY effing ROBBERY! Why is it that record labels are soooo consumed with stupid chart topping crap acts? Are they trying to drive me to P2P downloading? I should have picked it up while in London and ate the exchange rate. Well, these blokes from the Isle of Wright and their psychedelic ways are supposed to be released stateside June 5th. So if you like their flavour as much as I do, go go plastic. Watch the music video (qt - stream).
