never heard of them either.About the Honeydogs album (from their "label" website at United Musicians):
The Honeydogs' wry sincerity and casually brilliant songcraft have made them critics' favorites and local legends in the Twin Cities. Their new album--10,000 Years--is an ambitious, sweeping epic; part "Brave New World," part "Three Penny Opera," part “Sgt. Pepper” and part “Pleased To Meet Me.”
Whether you are hooked by its Beatlesque pop melodies or its lyrical cinematic scope, 10,000 Years will hook you nonetheless.
“I love The Honeydogs. Lyrics that display a social conscience, melodies I wish I had written and really interesting arrangements. And now here’s 10,000 Years. I love this record. Great Pop songs. Everyone should own this. It's like television...or paper.”
Michael Penn
“I've been playing their new record every day since I first heard it. It's a concept with great melodies and great lyrics and wonderful performances. A truly unique project but with classic pop songs...oh, if every rock opera could be this well-conceived.”
Aimee Mann
