   About The Bees
BRAND NEW SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE BEES/ MOTHER HIPS LIMITED EDITION SPLIT 7" FEATURES NEW SONGS FROM EACH BAND & SCREEN-PRINTED SLEEVE RELEASE DATE APRIL 22nd ALL ORDERS RECEIVE FREE DIGITIAL DOWNLOAD OF EACH SONG ! PRE-ORDER NOW AT http://camerarecords.com/beeships7inch/ PRE-ORDERS will arrive at your doorstep on or before April 22, the day the 7" hits all good record shops. Camera Records is proud to release a split 7" vinyl single on April 22 from two acclaimed bands: Isle of Wight’s Mercury prize-nominated The Bees (also known as "A Band of Bees" in America) and esteemed California quartet The Mother Hips. The single offers two brand new tracks, "Papa Echo" by The Bees and "Childish Dreams" by The Mother Hips. The release marks the first studio recordings since 2007’s Octopus by The Bees and Kiss The Crystal Flake by The Mother Hips. The record is a must have for afficionados who truly appreciate the psychedelic-70’s-power-pop movement. "Papa Echo" from The Bees swirls their well-known psychedelia with blazing Latin-jazz and salsa rhythms. Side AA’s "Childish Dreams" from The Mother Hips brings a fresh punch to the bands’ repertoire, "melding heady Revolver-era vocals with Zombies-esque pop." The antique green sleeve was screen-printed in NYC with hand-drawn lettering by Hugh Miller Surratt, the resident poster artist at Michigan State University from 1970-1975, drawing posters for Miles Davis, The Byrds, Frank Zappa, and The Grateful Dead, among others.

THE FAMILY - NEW SONGS ON MYSPACE

Hot off the press, we've made our latest recordings available for preview on our myspace page.

The songs were recorded at the The Steam Rooms, The Bees' very own studio on the Isle of Wight. The songs are:

Carolina's Alone - a cosmic waltz with lilting harmonies, horns and pedal steel;

and

The Byrd - a boozy, foot tappin', low-down dirty, boogie!!!

These songs, along with Let the Love Shine In represent what we're all about - so have a listen and leave your comments...

Cheers

The Family xxx

“Put Mama Shamone on at any venue and they are likely to take the roof off, this was one of the best live shows I’ve seen in years - certainly one of the best in London. In my opinion these guys are destined for greatness, it felt like I was witnessing history being shaped-something was just so right about what they were doing up there.” Vibe Bar

Our two favourite bands are The Byrds and The Bees. It's ironic because we're all hopelessly single,
