Earworm Of The Week: The Honeydogs

Most Minnesotans hardly need an introduction to The Honeydogs. Fronted by local icon Adam Levy and backed by the musical talents of Peter J. Sands, Stephen Kung, Trent Norton, Matt Darling and Peter Anderson, The Honeydogs have 18 years of onstage performances under their belts. Though best known for their single "I Miss You", this sometimes-twangy, always pleasing, pop-rock-Americana outfit is on the brink of releasing their 10th studio album, What Comes After. Join the band at First Avenue on March 10 to hear "Aubben" and all their other radio-ready tunes live. Rogue Valley and Farewell Milwaukee open the show.
