Formed: 2000
City: Dallas, TX

Combining off-the-wall wit with solid musicianship, the band has been compared to Ween, Tenacious D, and Frank Zappa. Their live show – complete with shtick, spontaneity, and mayhem – is sometimes closer to an Andy Kaufman spectacle than a rock concert.
In their short time together, Honchie has built an impressive fan base in Dallas, playing weekends at venues such as Club Dada, Trees, Curtain Club and the Gypsy Tea Room. They’ve also played key festivals, including North By Northeast in Toronto, North Texas Music Festival and more.

Vans Warped Tour 2009 Warped just began -- Dallas is the fifth stop -- so Bad Religion, NOFX et al will still be fresh. This year, they've got fewer stages and longer sets (40 minutes instead of 30). Get there early for Colorado duo 3OH!3 and Brit punkers Gallows (pictured, credit Jay West). More info
