And yet the group don't seem to claim to be pioneers in womens rights. One of the problems is that there were many women pioneers (Delia Derbyshire and Daphnie Oram to name but two) in music but even the people these days who claim to be concerned about it don't even know about these legends. Surely that says more about them than anything else.

I'm from the SF Bay Area, and in the 60's we had a local group called the Vejtables (they eventually became the mojo men) with a hit "I still love you" that had a female drummer Jan Errico who was so pretty and talented. I also love her voice in "Sit down I think I love you" when she was with the mojo men.

Honey Lantree was THE groundbreaker!

This caught my attention because I saw a woman - clearly from the 60s -playing drums! Really interesting to see that she preceded Karen Carpenter by a decade. Of course, there were many women musicians , going back to the 1920s, who played many different instruments but you’d never recognize their names. This is especially true for jazz, but it’s true for most genres. It was okay for women to play “feminine” instruments like the piano, guitar or violin. Drums, electric guitar, brass instruments were all seen as too masculine for women. Even with Karen Carpenter, she was on the drum kit for about a minute, and from then on she only was a vocalist. Really dumb!

Great guitar player and vocalist. The landlords of the Badger, Den & Edie has a house in Dagenham and a few times after the pub shut we'd end up round there drinking and Dennis would play songs on his acoustic guitar.

Throughout the last over 50years growing up hearing several countless 60s songs even during my childhood from the late 60s til the 80s,I've not only ever heard of this group,(except the Honey Cones Soul girl Groupon the early 70s),but never heard any of their songs on even an old school Sears Silverstone AM/FM mono-speaker rectangular portable radio that I still own and operates well to this day,(bought by my late parents the very year this particular song was a hit in 1964. Why was this great classic rock song kept on the downlow for so long??!! Better yet,where I have I been?! I grew up hearing The Stones,The Who,The Doors,The Kinks,Herman's Hermits,The Monkees,Mamas & Papas,all of the 60s singers,groups,but never came across The Honeycones let alone the very first female rock drummer even before Karen of The Carpenters. Overall,thank you for bringing this group out into the spotlight 60 years later. I'm really digging them despite to offer my late condolences to the drummer. I didn't even know she had long passed on. 🙏 RIP. Great doggone classic song.

As per the film TELSTAR. Honey’s recorded bass drum sound in the chorus is actually someone stamping on the bare floorboards in Joe Meek’s bathroom. He was definitely a pioneer of recorded sounds.

They were using weird mic placements and other experimental techniques while recording this song in Joe Meek's apartment and it feels like they tried to match that feel by filling this video with equally weird camera angles so that the sound of the studio version and the look of the video would complement each other. Kinda cool.
