The Honeymoon Machine

Bio

Formed in 2004 around a nucleus of friendships and musical connections and named in tribute to the 1961 movie featuring Steve McQueen's first film role, The Honeymoon Machine are:

Aaron Courtney-Stokes - Vocals, guitar
Paul "Bobby" Jones - Keyboards, vocals
Matt Parker - Guitar, vocals
Lee "Chef" Blackburn - Bass
James "Donny" Connolly - Drums, vocals

After a UK debut taster single In To Your Head charted in the spring, the band toured briefly, gaining a reputation for epic and intense performances. They followed up with a trip to Canada and the US where their technicolor textures found a firmly building fan base among the wide-open spaces.

Comparisons have been wide-ranged and disparate; Spiritualized, Smashing Pumpkins, Pink Floyd and Mercury Rev to mane but four. But The Honeymoon Machine are a difficult band to pin down - this is an essentially new brew, a blissed out psyched up rock'n'roll.
