Arthurian Honey
Arthurian Honey is the brainchild of former child prodigy turned average citizen James Alex Hilderbrand. Born in the somnolent suburban clutches of Springfield, MO, Alex moved three hours north to Columbia, MO and helped form the smash hit supergroup Nascar Diarrhea. After repeated requests from unimpressed girlfriends and one-night stands, the band officially changed its name to Capt. Captain in the Spring of 2009.
Then they broke up.
Arthurian Honey was birthed soon after, providing an outlet for Alex’s guitar-driven slop pop and twee, often mock-religious lyrical subject matter. With Alex Brittain on drums and the prodigious Anderson Huffman Cardwell manning both the bass and theremin, Arthurian Honey played their first show at Mojo’s in Columbia, MO and on January 21st, 2010. Alex Brittain soon parted ways with the band leaving Alex H. and Anderson C. to spend the next four months writing new material fora recording session at Central Cellar Studios with the fabulous Wil Reeves.
Soon after, Alex left Anderson and Missouri altogether for the hilly, hot asphalt of Austin, TX where he is currently releasing singles and B-sides for the Yards & Gods record label.
