Honey Claws is bound to strike oil any day now. There is no formula for the kind of music that Jon Von Letscher, Traey Hatch, Ben Senior, and Thomas Sahs set out to create—bouncy beats, a generous helping of hip-hop, and a touch of reggae all strewn together with strident keyboards. And in case you were wondering, their live shows are as manic as you might expect. They seem to have the stamina and tenacity of a Duracell bunny on stage—running not on batteries, but on beer and armloads of candy bars.
