Turn Me On Turn Me Off

[TheKenfig]

JESUS, who did this talentless kid fuck to get on TOTP out of nowhere ? ; Peter fuckin' Powell probably ( 'I can make you a star baby' )

[crain332]

i bought that first Honey Bane 7" on Crass Records for .25 cents at a used record store in 1983. liked it a lot. still like it. have to see what she is up to music wise now!

[mikey4bass]

Check out the new stuff. Honey is better than ever. !!!! Bye :-)

[1gladdis]

Sounds more like X-Ray Spex than the You Can be You EP. I agree with the earlier comment that the latter, all three tracks, still sounds superb. And all for 65p. 

[throohiker]

I love this. I love the coat, the hair, the song... everything!

[witchsphere]

Randomly thought 'wonder if anyone's uploaded any Honey Bane' and bloody hell.. really cheered me up that has.

[StanPomeray]

"You Can Be You" EP was far superior. Still sounds pretty good now, actually.

[SoreWiggum]

SOO CUTE!!

[SPERANZA65]

Hi, seen you back in May 27th 1980 @ Middleton Civic Hall, Manchester supporting UB40, you were great!. All the best, Chris

[honeybane]

[mediattackrecords]

[rocktypedude]

[JoeStunner]

Blimey...this brings back memories. Good to hear you're still making music, Honey. x

[zaran10]

[Vinseneb]

I missed this one. What year was this?

[Vinseneb]

It's ok I got it.

[L0K3]

hey...it's posh peter powell

[DOKJAMPEE]

Crikey! I loved this and Honey Bane I was "in love" with her at the time, bought the single.

[nursultan666]

you can be you was the best, she cant dance but she sure is cute :)

[GriefTourist]

this is real girl power not like the vulgar pop of today...oh god i'm turning into my dad!

[areyoureceivingme]

I bought this fantastic 7" when it came out! Limited double 7" pack. In the days when the charts were so much more fun! LOVE Violence Grows. I gotta go play that now!

[JellyJessiie]

* And, she started her singing career aged 13.

EMI signed her but she gave over publishing rights so she never earned any money.

She has 4 or 5 children, Zenny, Zephen [who I've met and is the same age as my brother] Phoenix + Zoey, and possibly another child.

Donna has gone through so much in her life, it's literally unbelievable.

[ar4216]

She should write a book. It sounds like she's led a fascinating life.

[Zeoaesir]

I remember I went on a school trip from Scotland to London (aged 15). We were allowed to have a wander about. I found myself in a record shop god knows where and bought one single because i liked the name of the band. - Violence Grows by Fatal Microbes. Look forward to hearing the new album.

[9graff9]

shes hott...sucks not many know about her....but all of us in here do!!

[exploited222]

THIS IS SO NICE/REMEMBERS ME OF THE GOOD OLD TIMES. WONDERFUL REALLY. such a great girl voice unbelievable.

[PROFFESSOR1963]

Still got the fatal microbes single and always put it on to cheer up-nice to here this and look forward to the new tracks

[skinheadjim]

honeybane always looking good , even now ;)

[honeybane]

I want to thank everyone for their comments so far, and let you all know that I have almost completed a new album that has a lyrically updated version of Violence Grows on it plus other new stuff that I'm sure you're gonna love! Thanks for all the love and support throughout the years. Honey ...

[nomarac2]

I can't wait to hear it.

[ycfunlover]

@honeybane i loved your music in 1981 thanks

[honeybane]

@ycfunlover Thank you :-) x

[funfunfun1964]

i know its shirt, but i love it!!!!!!

[hellakooked]

dude! HOW the fuck is she only 16 in this video? ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dortyhoor]

She had a very public puberty, on vinyl and in the newspapers. She was famous for making her first single at 14 (the Fatal Microbes).

[dortyhoor]

I went into a Virgin records shop to buy her 'Guilty' single and came out with this instead by mistake because of the idiot behind the counter.

[zippybear01]

Bought the single. remember this on TOTP.She would be HUGE today. Love the other comments

[Malcos68]

Toyah's little sister??

[mwe152]

Even by the standards set in the psychedelic, glam and punk eras, I think this was the most sexual performance both visually and musically ever in the history of ToTP, more like something off a late-night music/video/gig show. Even sexier than Debbie Harry, sexier than Kate Bush and leaves manufactured tripe like the Spice Frumps standing, yet seems to have been forgotten, presumably as Honey Bane was an 'unknown' who became a one-hit wonder from the punk/New Wave/New Romantic era.

[RockAndRollMassacre]

honey looks fantastic

[sugarkaneandchloe]

she really does :-)

[weff4]

great record, remember buying the single!

[nomarac2]

i love you honey bane

[katastrophenschutzwa]

i bought this at the time.great song of th era!! i'm sure she was managed by jimmy pursey of sham 69.

[skeletora]

AMAZING!!!!

[kitty241970]

Brings back memories, shame they haven't got Girl On The Run on YOu Tube

[tk1873]

Girl On The Run is on here. Somebody uploaded it a couple of days ago.

[londonpenda]

27yrs ago I watched you on the box.

TotPs was essential viewing back then;)

[WhollyGhost]

I love it!!!

[RICH1066]

Girl on the run is better

[jockandcarol]

qwarrr !

[zaran10]

This is the song that brought honey bane to my attention and has done ever since, loved every thing by her befor and after this, honey is back in the studio doing new solo stuff in augst/sept 2008 cnt wait to hear that!!

[SPERANZA65]

Jeezuz... i saw Honey Bane @ Middleton Civic Hall, Manchester May 27th 1980 she supported the awful UB40, my mates mam was in the ticket office and got us 2 tickets for 50p each!!,,, ub40 were BOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NaldiNaldi]

That's so cool! She looks like all those modern Japanese harajuku girls, only she did it like 20 years before! Very cool song too.

[sparkey69]

was it her that did the song "Guilty" think it was ...great song, anyone going to post it? PLEASE

[itsacorporatething]

She said in an interview 10 months after this appearance that she didn't remember a thing about it because she was so stoned at it.

[TutleheadHead]

Great song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bennyshambles]

FUCK YES, Honey Bane is the best!

[noprofitgeisha]

god this looks a lot like 80s japanese tv, guess it makes sense

[mumbolungo]

Thanks Honey still have the single!

[carloop]

wow honey bane ,this dosn`t sound like the stuff she did with crass or fatal microbes .good to see though

[abraxis20]

Not one of her better songs I wish footage existed of violence grows or guilty

[andyloynes]

[HorrorBat]

RandomCatFilms is sad because he was wrong

[RandomCatFilms]

ExRats a pussy

[ExRat]

I am indeed.

[ExRat]

I am indeed.

[RandomCatFilms]

Honey Bane was a femminist movement and her first record lable was on Crass records because of her femminist lyrics but none of you would know that

[ExRat]

Honey Bane's first record label wasn't with Crass. She was in the Fatal Microbes before that. YOU apparently didn't know that, you dolt.

[ojaown]

Hey! You were in that one movie with Kathy Burke! The one about girls in prison. I saw that on BBC America or Sundance or something! I didn't know that. :) That movie was awesome.

[199tig199]

25 years ago , i reckon a re release is in order eh ? Wish you had more stuff up though,you must have loads on video surely ?

[ojaown]

Aw. I love it! She's like a way cuter Kelly Osbourne.

[ExRat]

Feckin' ADOOOOOOORABLE!

[externalmenace]

I always did like thgis song, great seeing this!

[sham64]

I remember when you stayed up at our house Honey . You were staying at JP's at the time and I got yapping to you on the phone when you answered . You got pally with Caroline ( my sister ) and when you visited your parents house in Cornwall you stayed at ours . My parents couldn't get over your hair . Ive still got the signed photo BTW : - )
