H0nkies / Children of the Pope / Future Glue
Genre-bending, South Londoners H0nkies are mind boggling bonkers! The band waltz through uptempo country stomp and deranged blues like an unhinged saloon door. Fans of The Gun Club, Meat Puppets and The Country Teasers will love how the rip up plaid and spike the moonshine!
Honkies play synth-infused honky tonk hysteria, like the grease left on the floor of the Grand Ol' Opry after a long, sweaty night of amphetamine-driven thrills. One of the hardest working band in SE and probably the least known from the current wave of indie guitar bands popping up on Electric Avenue including Fat White Family, Goat Girl, Shame, Hotel Lux, Sorry et all. They played their debut Scottish show at Freakender in 2018 and have since worked their way across London creating a whirlwind of chaos and deviation from the dull, glossy mainstream existence.
"Imagine Merle Haggard dropping past The Cramps' after-show at the Brixton Windmill and you'd be close, a kind of demented inverse of country 'n' western" - Clash
