Busy Bank Holiday & Count Down To Single Release

Hope you all had a great weekend. Ours was a busy one to say the least.

Saturday we travelled over to Gloucestershire to play at the Stroud Fringe festival. We weren’t sure what to expect from it, being a festival we had never been to, but it really was wonderful. Thank you so much to everyone who came to listen, chat and buy music. You all made it such a brilliant day!

One short sleep later we (Sally and Natalie) were back on the motorway in order to get to Insomnia 55 (a gaming festival in Coventry) in time for doors opening. We were dragged along by our younger brother who didn’t want to go by himself, but we actually really enjoyed ourselves and spent most of our time in the retro area playing strange Japanese fighting games, Mario Kart and the like. We’ve also gone and bought ourselves a new games console (so see you all in a few months!)

Monday, it was back to work again. We performed live on Bradley Stoke Radio and promoted our single launch on Friday. It was a bit of a sad evening, having realised it would also be our last radio session with Anja. We held in the tears and got through it, just about.

Which leads us to this Friday when we’re releasing our single “Come Undone/ What Is Left” at the Louisiana, Bristol. We’ve got two amazing supports: Bristol’s own I Am Horse and Della Lupa from Brighton. It will be our last show in Bristol with Anja so we’re making it something special with plans for decorations, projections and collaborations. E-tickets are still available to buy. Can't wait to see you guys there!

I Am Horse

Della Lupa

'Come Undone' Video

We're really pleased to be able to show you the video for 'Come Undone', filmed whilst recording in Toybox Studios.

It is the first track from our double 'A' side single, titled 'Come Undone/What Is Left', which is due for release on 4th September.

The single is now available for pre-order both in download form and as limited edition handmade copies. E-tickets for the launch night at The Louisiana, Bristol are also available from our bandcamp page.

New Single's First Play

We're really happy to announce that the artwork for the limited edition handmade singles has been finalised, and here it is!

More good news is that tonight from 8pm 'Come Undone' will have it's first play on Bradley Stoke Radio. If you want to be one of the first to hear it please do tune in. Really excited to finally let you all hear it.

Anja Leaving and Single Launch

You may be wondering from Wednesday's announcement - 'How are The Honeyfire going to continue?' But we assure you, your doubts will be resolved.

When Anja joined we had no idea how much she would bring to the band, both creatively and as a supportive force. We have grown very close during our time together, so much so that it breaks our hearts to see her leave. But we realise that it has been a very difficult decision for her and know that we will always be friends whatever happens and wherever we find ourselves in the future.

Initially when we started writing together Anja seemed so mature in her abilities so we felt like we needed to up our game and try to match her. In this regard we feel as though her presence in the group changed the way we thought and wrote. And we will continue to evolve when she's gone, ever changing and practicing our art so that we can improve with every song we write. We already have so much we're dying to show you all.

On that note, our new double 'A' side single is a step in a new direction for us, and we can't wait to show you what we've created. There will (of course) be two tracks plus a video. It will be released digitally, but there will also be a limited number of physical handmade copies. If you sign up to our mailing list then you will be the first to hear about it!

Tickets for the launch show on 4th September at the Louisiana, in Bristol are now available to purchase. We are very excited to be able to announce that our special guests that night will be Bristol's I Am Horse and Della Lupa from Brighton.

We're also currently putting together a small UK tour in the autumn, which will be a first for us, but also pretty much the first time we'll be playing as a two-piece The Honeyfire.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter! And if you have any questions or queries please don't be afraid to drop us a line. We really do love chatting to you all!

We appreciate all your support over the years.
