Monday Exposure: The Honey Brothers

Allegedly formed at a, “ukulele fantasy camp,” the Honey Brothers have grown to become the undisputed, “masters of Hawaiian-Appalachian Glam Rock.”

Despite the obvious stars of the band being the ukulelists: film maker Ari Gold (who isn’t off of Entourage lest the name confused you) and Andrew Vladeck, most of the attention is inexplicably directed at the bands drummer: actor and professional handsome man Adrian Grenier (who is off of Entourage).

The band started out as an acoustic, ukulele driven trio. But when Grenier joined them on drums, they developed more of a rocky sound. However, the ukuleles are still very much in evidence and it creates an usual and interesting tension between the indie rock moments and the traditional ukulele stylings.
