Honeycrush - 9:30pm
Chaelle (Nashville) - 8:30pm
Honeycrush is the solo project of New York singer-songwriter-poet Alexandra Antonopoulos.
Though a classically- rained vocalist, the Brooklyn artist first picked up guitar in 2021, recording her debut EP Milk Teeth (Dune Altar, 2023) in her home studio to critical acclaim.
Drawing comparisons to artists Land of Talk, Magnolia Electric Co., Jeff Buckley and PJ Harvey, there’s a distinctly rock influence even in Honeycrush’s most somber, delicate melodies.
Antonopoulos weaves themes of identity, the fraught struggle of self-discovery and generational experiences of womanhood into lyrics that tiptoe between abstract poeticism and diaristic confession. Honeycrush performs live as a 4-piece rock band, with Antonopoulos playing solo shows on rare occasions.
Honeycrush’s first headline show sold out Bushwick’s Sleepwalk and a regional tour of the Northeast and Midwest soon followed. Honeycrush and her most recent single, Fruit Is Year Three, were featured on WFUV’s New York Slice highlight. Her most recent release, Dogwoods (EP) was featured on Alternative Press.
“Dark, methodically paced… with a fervent, intoxicating delivery.” - The Big Takeover Issue #93
“Drifting dream pop and snarling grunge, with potent vocals wrapped in gauzy textures one minute, surrounded by jagged riffs the next.” -Bandcamp’s New & Notable Carousel
Antonopoulos has authored one book of poetry, “Feast,” published by Atmosphere Press in 2021.
