Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
Since their formation 4 years ago in the subway stations of Oakland, CA, The California Honeydrops have completed 6 European tours, spread honey on crowds throughout the US, and recorded 2 full length albums of original music, all without the help of a record label or major booking agency. Their secret? An irresistible sound that blends energy and intimacy, undeniable talent and musicianship, and the soul and fervor of a spiritual street parade.
See them perform once, and you won’t be surprised why they were voted the SF Bay Area’s “Best Soul/R&B Band”. Nominated for “Best New Artist” by the National Blues Foundation (2009), and recently receiving 5 East Bay Express Reader’s Poll awards (2011) including “Best Band”, “Best Album”, and “Best Musician”, with a highly anticipated live album due to release in late 2011 and an new studio album your donations will help produce, consider The California Honeydrops unstoppable!
First heard CHD at a office Christmas party in 2010 of all things. WOW! These guys are terrific. I knew you guys are going all the way. Wishing that spirit of yours to send you soaring through 2012, The Year of the Dragon...oh yeh. Tlc
I"m hoping to see you guys on the 30th at the Continental Club....is that still happening? hope so.
Thank you so much everyone. It brings tears of joy to think about the strength and support of our fans and friends. You guys are truly amazing and have become part of something really important. At least we think so. Independent emerging artists everywhere can look at you and say, "They know what's up!".
We love you so much and you KNOW this. Oh, yeah, we CAN keep going until 6pm PST Dec. 30th, sooooo if peeps wanna still throw in, it's all good. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hoo-de-hoo!!!!!!!! Lookin' forward to NYE!!
Congrats 'Drops!! Now how *FAR* over the goal can you go...? :-D
Happy to have just put you over goal! May 2012 be a great year for the Honeydrops! See you NYE! Mark & Judy
I love you guys! Now will you play "Meet the Boys on the Battlefront" at a show when some random chick in the audience shouts it out? Please? :)
You guys are great! I'm a little poor these days, but I'm still throwing down some change to support local music. Keep spreading the love. Oh, and play some lindy next time I'm at one of your shows, plz! Thank you!
I am from France and LOVE your sound. I discovered it thanks to a facebook ad that perfectly targeted me. Your sense of humor and great sound convinced me not only to back you, but also to go to itunes and download your 2 albums! The next time you are touring Europe, and are going to be in Paris, i would LOVE TO see you live! The spirit feels powerful and infectious! Keep it up and good luck! (brilliant move with the Facebook ad)
Great googly mooglies! Thank you everyone! We are so close! It's just those extra folk we might know who would dig our sound and lend that little help to push it over! Thank you!
Got a little more to throw in the pot. Almost there. Fingers crossed!
Hey you, hey all fans out there -- you have been having fun and feeling good with the HD music for free for so long now. It lifted you when you were feeling low, it picked you up, when you were down.... It's time to put your money where your mouth is! If you don't do it, who will? If not now, when?
Thanks for playing the Jingletown Parade!
Pace has become even more attainable and sustainable: 3 days ago it was 550 per day for 30 days, now it is 500 per day for 27. Math is on your side Lech & Co.
now we're spreading honey for the honeydrops! thanks for the sweet tunes to keep me going guys!
11 people at $50 for each of the next 30 days will do it, folks!
Here's to local musicians making great music. Good luck guys! -Doug and Buckeye Knoll
So much love for the Honeydrops! Music the way it's meant to be made. Keep it comin' fellas!
Woo! Yes Lola! We love you too! Thanks for being the 100th backer! Keep spreadin' that honey, honey!
Have loved you all since I first saw you at Cafe Revolution. Don't mind spending my little bit of unemployment to make sure you guys get the opportunity to send us a little more honey.
Very happy to support this project! Can't wait for my supporter gift! Thank you guys for the hard work, amazing talent & creativity - and over all *good times*
