The Bumble Bees were a garage rock band from Den Haag, Zuid Holland, Netherlands, who released three 7" singles between 1966-67. Their line-up consisted of Jim ten Boske (guitar, keyboards, vocals), Joop Lelieveld (guitar, vocals), Rene Bakker (bass) and Nico Overgaauw (drums). Boske would later go on to play the organ in The Shoes. For the French band, please see bumble bees. .

B. Bumble and the Stingers were an instrumental ensemble from the early 1960s, who specialized in rocking up classical melodies. At Rendezvous Records in Los Angeles, the house band had a hit record with a rocked-up version of "In The Mood", credited to the Ernie Fields Orchestra. Band members Earl Palmer, Rene Hall and Plas Johnson then came up with the idea of taking the same approach to a piece of classical music, and approached pianist Jack Fina who had successfully arranged a swing version of Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumble Bee" - as "Bumble Boogie" - in 1946.

Bumblefoot (aka Ron Thal) is a recording artist with over twenty years of albums and releases. Fronting his solo band as lead singer/guitarist, the music is hard rock, bordering on quirky and experimental. Known for his down-to-Earth obnoxious punky attitude, mixed with off-center abstract intellectuality, and a sense that he's just being himself with you - whether playing lead guitar onstage with Guns N' Roses in front of 100,000 people headlining a European festival, or in a one-on-one conversation. Since the early 90's Ron has released over 200 songs through solo CDs and DVDs, and digital releases. He's had numerous...

This project was a collaboration between Gregory Carmichael, Patrick Adams, and Joey Badlotto, and unsurprisingly, the sound is in the vein of Phreek, Cloud One and the Universal Robot Band. The big difference is that all the vocals are sped up, presumably to resemble how bees would sound if placed in the studio. .

This is a press biography. It's supposed to tell you about a band: Bumblebeez. But which Bumblebeez? The cavalier beat-mongers from the Australian bush? The confrontational punks who supported Radiohead and royally pissed off their fans? The neon-flecked electro-rap outfit infiltrating clubland worldwide? Or the primal screamers behind breakbeat blues tracks like 'Black Dirt'? An intuitively eclectic outfit, and one whose personnel changes by the day - according to the whims and needs of chief Bumblebee, Chris Colonna - to try and pin down Bumblebeez, to sum them up in one bite-size sound-bite is to miss the point. Modern, contradictory,...
