The Honey Buzzards - Star Happy EP




The Honey Buzzards were a Norwich, England based band who achieved significant Independent Music success in the early 1990's.
They were formed by Ian Thompson (vocals/guitar), Simon Shaw (bass) and Matthew Wayne (drums) at Norwich School in 1988, and shortly recruited Nathan Moore and John Evans as guitarists.
They released three singles on Manchester based Sheer Joy Records: Sympathy (For Two Girls) (1990), Star Happy (1990) and Pale Horse (1991) all of which made the Top 20 of the Indie Chart, and issued a promo single with remixes by The Orb. Their strongest sales however were in Scandinavia, particularly Sweden.
The first single was produced by Michael Johnson, who was responsible for most of New Order’s back catalogue including the “Brotherhood”, “Low-life” and “Technique” albums. In 1991, the band recorded two BBC Sessions, one for the Mark Goodier Evening Session (Radio 1) and one for Hit The North (Radio 5), while John Peel championed the band’s singles extensively.
