Honey Brothers Live

The recent Honey Bros. club gig was set up at Go-Go with the Honey Brothers was set up by a combination of various sponsors. Their drummer, Adrian Grenier, stars in the popular HBO series Entourage and the band has recently sold out a Bowery show and is playing there again soon. A promise of free drink, live music took me to Chelsea t to check them out. I walked in through the red velvet ropes with my friend Mike, took a seat at a reserved table next to the stage, reserved for me I assumed, and waited for the show to begin. Grenier had a whistle around his neck, blowing sharply calling his fellow Honey Brothers to stage, the shrill sound reminding me of a drummer I know who used to bring a whistle to his shows, and whenever he would blow it he would scream, “Penalty.” The drummer is the anchor of the band and perhaps once could think of him as the referee of the beat of the band, keeping his players in line. The band played a short set, complete with go-go dancers on stag. Afterwards I asked a random girl what she thought of the show. She offered me an empty honey bottle, a souvenir for the night and said, “They reminded me of a band that my friend was a part of in college.”
