Honeyhoney
Band Los Angeles United States Formed 2006 Americana band from Los Angeles
Honeyhoney formed in 2006 in Los Angeles, United States. Honeyhoney has 6 chart appearances on 6 radio countdowns from 2 stations on RockLists, spanning 2009–2014. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Little Toy Gun”, which appears on 5 lists with a best position of #1672. The station that charted Honeyhoney most often is CD101 (Columbus, OH), with 5 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2011.
Honeyhoney was the Los Angeles pairing of Benjamin Jaffe and Suzanne Santo, who met at a costume party in 2006 and had a record deal within a year. Santo also worked as a model and actress. They first called themselves Zanzibar Lewis, and that was still the name on the contract when they signed with Ironworks, the label co-owned by Kiefer Sutherland.
Their Americana had dust on its boots and a wink in its eye. "Little Toy Gun", which turned up on the 2008 Loose Boots EP, is a sly, slinky shuffle with twang to spare, and Sutherland himself directed and starred in its video. Their debut album, First Rodeo, followed on Ironworks, and they spent their early days on the road with Lifehouse, another act on the label's roster.
Billy Jack came out on October 24, 2011, through their own honeyhoney Records imprint with Lost Highway, and Dave Cobb produced their third album, 3, released June 9, 2015. American Songwriter singled out Santo's magnetism and swagger and reckoned the group's moment had arrived. After parting with Rounder, the duo called it a day in 2017.
