National Beekeepers Society: General Info

Member Since	8/29/2006
Band Website	myspace.com/nationalbeekeeperssociety
Band Members	a few
Influences	"National Beekeepers Society's recent self-titled LP laid quirky keyboards and harmonies over a world-weary rock base. It’s a lo-fi unassuming record, yet the band doesn’t seem to be completely joking when it claim’s Brian Eno as an influence- - ”Scars”, an otherwise somber acoustic song, benefits from a strange, buzzing synth in the background." -The Onion
Sounds Like	"Themes of death, sickness and suicide all wrapped in jangly guitars and slightly twisted lyrics make National Beekeepers Society's self-titled release a compelling and strangely satisfying listen. Respect to these Wisconsin boys." -Billy Zero, XM Satellite Radio "The Beekeepers songs are typically short yet pithy. No doubt this will help them keep attention of an audience being assaulted by competing stimuli. Whetro’s gloomy lyrics and tone especially lend themselves to more mellow songs like “Scars." (Kris) Hansen bangs out irresistibly catchy bass lines on tracks like “Slackerevolution” while he lets the distortion flow on songs like “Look at Me” which sounds like the feedback laden tracks of Neutral Milk Hotel." - Emmie Magazine "They sound like ass shit!" - Phil, next-door neighbor
Record Label	Compound Fracture Records

oedipus tex	Mar 9 2008 6:47 PM I wanted to catch your show at the owl house yesterday, but I was playing a house show at the mole hill. this paradox messed with my mind in “twilight zone” style. why you ask? because the mole hill is an apartment decorated with like hundreds of owls…….they should call it the owl apartment.
