The Honeydogs is a band from Saint Paul, Minnesota that opened at First Avenue in 1994.
The band's popularity grew after signing with record label Mercury Records,[1] and their major label debut album Seen a Ghost in 1997.[2] The band left Mercury after the executives who signed them left the label as Mercury's parent PolyGram merged with Universal, and signed with Palm Records in May 2000 to release their next album, Here's Luck.[3]
Adam Levy and producer Rick Fuller worked together to make a film version of the album 10,000 Years which is a feature-length music video.[4]
The Honeydogs were honored with a star on the outside mural of the Minneapolis nightclub First Avenue,[5] recognizing performers that have played sold-out shows or have otherwise demonstrated a major contribution to the culture at the iconic venue.[6] Receiving a star "might be the most prestigious public honor an artist can receive in Minneapolis," according to journalist Steve Marsh.[7]
