VIDEO: Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears - Power to the Pussy (PTP)
January 23, 2017
It’s always legit to have Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears back on the scene with new music and a tour. The veteran Austin TX-based band has several raucous records and are an entertaining live act. Boozy & garagey, they mix R&B, punk & blues with Daptone-esque horns, a concoction that is groovy and nasty.
Taken from their forthcoming fifth LP Backlash , produced by Stewart Sikes (Loretta Lynn, Cat Power) and out Feb 10, “PTP” (Power to the Pussy) is a sexually charged romp of a song that sounds like Stax-gone-garage. They’ve made a fun animated video for the tune ahead of the album release. Check it here:
The Russian translation of “honeybears” on the cover reflects Joe’s recent obsession with Russian lit (Gorky, Chekov, etc). The seven-piece band will be hitting the road late winter/early spring in support of Backlash. Tour dates here.
