The Isle of Wight's finest Rivièra combo, the Bees introduce their unique blend of insular rhythms with Britpop sensitivity. First there was an excellent 7" release in a ridiculously small edition. The second treat was their 'Angry Man' track on the 'We Love You, So Love Us Too' compilation. 'The Punchbag EP' has six tracks of which the title track will be included on their much anticipated debut which will be out and about later in summer, the season most suitable to Bees. The EP breathes new life into a Latin standard like 'A Minha Meniña' but at the same time delivers some of the most joyous sway outside of the Caribbean.
Track Listing:-
1 Punchbag2 Town Version
3 A Minha Menina

Mermaid Theatre, 23/7/2007 |
Despite being dropped recently by EMI, Chris O' Toole is convinced that the Bees still have a bright future after watching them play a triumphant set of their unqiue blend of reggae, psychedelic rock, Americana and swing at the Mermaid Theatre in London |
