Kapela Midnight Honeycake nahrává svoje první album

We are Midnight Honeycake, a Czech-American band from Prague playing alternative / indie rock (or something like that, it's hard to put it into a box).

Two musicians walk into a bar in Prague, they meet in the restroom…

Okay – it might sound like an odd start to a joke, but that’s where the first two members of the band met, in the restroom of an underground music club in Prague. In early 2022, Justin (from Vacaville, California) and David (from Chomutov, Czech Republic) met during the break of Justin’s gig at the time, bonding over music and the prospects of maybe making music together sometime . Some time passed, but eventually they met a few times to play guitar and three weeks later they were standing on a stage together at that same underground club where they met. Justin had been playing gigs at this club as a solo act, but one day had the idea to try to make it a duel guitar gig with David, and sure enough David agreed to join that night…but maybe something was missing…and David proposed the idea of having his friend Lukáš join on the drums with very little time before the gig started.  And so it happened that the first „rehearsal“ together was actually a first concert for what would later become Midnight Honeycake.

That band came together by chance, and are now pursuing their modest goal = to record an album that will send everyone to the moon.

(Song RE:Transition from our revisited EP)

• Justin Alan Brieno – vocals & bass
• Lukáš Kučva – drums
• David Sojka – guitar

Justin — The chill guy in our band. JB is a native Californian who doesn't deny his easygoing soul. In addition to playing with the band, he also performs solo at music venues in Prague, so he's just at home on stage. It shows.

Luky — A designer with a musician's heart. He has a flair for design and a knack for not only drums but also piano. His biggest hobby: whenever we listen to music at his place, he sits down at the piano and plays a song by ear. Yeah, he can do it every time.

Dave — A dreamer and producer of a band. When he was 13, he listened to a Fall Out Boy album and decided to learn guitar and record his own album one day. A few years and a few music projects later, here we are. And that dream lives on.

About the album

The songs we prepared for the album are personal. They reflect our thoughts, worldviews and things that many of us can identify with. All three of us have our own interpretation of what we want to put into the music, and this fusion is the “secret sauce” that pushes us forward in terms of genres and lets us go our own way. 

We don't stick to one style — we mix energetic guitar riffs with electronic elements and a rhythmic drum line. Our sound starts with alternative, but also touches on garage rock, hip-hop, or even dance music. As long as we’re enjoying the vibe and the people we play for – that’s our goal.

As is often the case, preparation is the first step, but implementation is where the hard work comes in. And there is so much to implement:

• Studio rental  – we record everything from vocals to the last synth
• Mix and master the album  – to make it sound the way it's supposed to
• Distribution  – digitally and ideally physically (CD, and if it works out, maybe even LP)
• Marketing and visuals  – social media promotion and design by real artists (no AI)

At the same time, we know that every penny counts these days — that's why we have a few rewards for you.

We're putting everything we've learned over the years of playing into this album. And the amount raised will allow us to get it all to your speakers and headphones in the best quality.
