"Thrash diva Honeychild brings to mind Miriam Makeba meeting Bjork in the Sex Pistols basement." -Greg Tate, VIBE Magazine
I love that quote. I can't quite describe Honeychild's style, but if I could put it into words, I think that's the most accurate description. In two words, "she rocks!" I first heard of Honeychild Coleman through her DJ skills. I was attending a dance party at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and was thoroughly impressed with the black woman spinning the amazing dance music. I found out she was DJ SugarfreeBK. A few months later, I met her through a mutual friend who invited me to see her play.
I assumed I was going to see another DJ performance. Instead I got afropunk meets alternative, and loved it, even though I'd never really been into punk. Check out Honeychild's music (including two of my favorites, Friend and The Last Time) and her videos on MySpace and if you're in (or visiting) Europe, you're in luck, cos...
She's on tour with renowned punk band the Slits! (For those who aren't up on their female punk history, the Slits are like the mother of female punk bands).
