After meeting through mutual friends,
Bart Davenport, Hervé "RV" Salters, and
Tony Sevener, all of whom had been involved in various Bay Area projects, decided to meet in Salters' home studio and see what they could create together musically. With
Davenport on vocals (he had sung with the Loved Ones and the Kinetics as well as released his own solo albums), Salters on keys (he had played for
Femi Kuti as well as a variety of Quannum artists, and released an album as
General Elektriks in 2005), and
Tony Sevener on live MPC (he had been the drummer for
Summercamp),
Honeycut began recording some of their own songs. Salters passed them on to Quannum honcho
Chief Xcel, who liked what he heard so much that he signed
Honeycut to the label and released their debut album,
The Day I Turned to Glass, which took soul and funk influences and mixed them with electronics and live horns and strings, in 2006. ~ Marisa Brown
