Honeytrap first cast adrift on the murky waters of the Midlands some time in the mid twenty-hundreds. It wasn't long, however, before her brightly coloured sails were spotted as far away as New York, Norway and Japan. Over the course of their travels, the crew acquired a curious cargo of sounds, varying from klezmer to country to garage punk. They gained the admiration of many, including Duke Bowie, and the patronage of the mighty Tough Love Records Trading Company. A school of glittering releases began leaping in their wake, including the EP 'Let's Do Naked Dancing' and the album 'Follies in Great Cities'.
Now, with a fresh coat of paint, suitably inflated sails and undoubtedly the sharpest crew to have ever manned the greasy decks, Honeytrap is sailing the crest of a wave on her continuing quest to bring riotously demented indie-folk to your fun-starved shores.

Thanks for being our friend, and props on the cool
music. Just wanted to let you know we're looking for some quality
artists on our website, and for our record labels next compilation
release. http://want-signed.com
Hey guys! Thanks for the add! Really like your stuff. Would be great if you could make it to our next gig night on the 2nd of September and let us know if it's something you'd be interested in taking part in!
Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.
International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.
Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.
Great! I like your Mussolini song, which one of you plays fiddle? Met your flat-mate in WW gallery other eve, she seems very nice too. Until next time X
"Faster Pussycat KILL! KILL! KILL!" and "We're the ones who love the Sun" new to The illChemists myspace, let us know what you think www.myspace.com/theillchemists
all of our love to you and your friends, from the illChemists
