Honig previously played in a band called Umaradum.
We made some records and played some concerts until 2004.

We worked on this project for about five years, until it was finally published in March 2004.
However, we didn't manage to produce more than two copies of this book, which came with a CD-R featuring music by Bulbul, Rumpeln, Kamerakino and a lot more.
Now, eight years later, we are thinking about doing some kind of 'online version' - if so, we'll let you know - maybe it just takes us another five years...!

Franz Ferdinand's Nick McCarthy has been invited to participate in the one-week-only Domino Radio show on 7 June 2011 at 1pm GMT.
"Nick McCarthy was joined by Manuela Gernedel (Box Codax), Anna McCarthy (Damenkapelle) and Martin Tagar (YRUSMTSIM) and together they shared a half full glass of Bavarian beer while contemplating all things Bavarian and declaring 'We are the synthesizers'. Very German."

Honig is an asexual and antisocial kid from the Bavarian Alps, who spent its first years rotting in goat sheds, cellars and abandoned living rooms.
At the age of five - after being diagnosed with personality disorder - a man from heaven and a woman from hell decided to take care of this lonesome child, that still could not even speak.
Throughout the years, Honig became a schizophrenic moron, either expressing its acute episodes by doing sound collages - abusing turntables, tape decks, etc. - or by playing Rock without Rock, using drums and guitar only.
