Dirty Honey: Band’s Bus Breaks Down Near Philly

Fresh off of another stellar MMRBQ performance, Dirty Honey have dropped their new album called Can't Find The Brakes - but it looks like the brakes found them.

The band posted to Instagram this morning (11/5) saying: "Oh the highs and lows of being in a touring band. Broken down outside of Philly en route to Asbury Park and we need to do a full bus switch first thing this morning. Nothing but fun ;)"

They performed in Harrisburg, PA last night, so this unexpected mid-morning stop was likely right in the middle of rockstar rest time. Their post includes a photo of the boys looking like they could use more sleep, but they're safe and sound, as you can see below.

Guitarist John Notto also posted: "We broke down b***h! Last pic with the downed bus as we make the mid-highway switch. Grumpy and caffeine-deficient but we’re fine dude."

We're not sure of the exact location of the bus breakdown, though MMR listener Darlene pointed out in the Instagram comments that it appeared to be somewhere on the Blue Route.

Dirty Honey managed to get their trailer with all their gear towed to their next destination in time for tonight's show at Asbury Lanes in Asbury Park, NJ. The tour continues across the U.S. through mid-December, and Can't Find The Brakes is available now.

Another MMRBQ is in the books. A packed house at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion on the Camden Waterfront enjoyed an incredible day of Rock & Roll and a memorable celebration of the best rock station in Philadelphia.

The star-studded lineup rocked the main stage beginning at 1 pm on a beautiful day in Camadelphia. The list of performers included:

MMR’s Local Shots artist of the month Vixen77 got things started on the main stage inside the amphitheatre. They followed it up with an excellent interview with Brent Porche at the MMR broadcast tent on the Ben Franklin Bridge side of Freedom Mortgage Pavilion.

Tigercub, Finger Eleven, Dirty Honey, Ayron Jones, and Larkin Poe gave the crowd their money’s worth with a marathon of excellent performances throughout the afternoon.

Billy Idol looked lively as ever when he led off with “Dancing With Myself” as the penultimate act, and MMRBQ headliner Shinedown didn’t disappoint with the peak of the night.

The return of the Preston & Steve side stage gave the loyal listeners of 93.3 WMMR a chance to get involved in MMRBQ 2023. Some excellent karaoke fired up the crowd at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion.

Victoria sang a head-banging rendition “Zombie” by the Cranberries that would’ve made Dolores O'Riordan proud. L.J. sang “The Rooster” by Alice in Chains with authority that you certainly won’t see from many other 16-year-olds. "In The End," "Separate Ways," "Livin' On A Prayer," and "What's Up" were some other crowd favorites.
