A couple of Saturdays ago, I kept seeing posters with Adrian Grenier’s face everywhere I went. After passing the tenth poster, curiosity struck, and I stopped to see exactly why Vincent Chase was staring at me. It turns out he’s in a band called The Honey Brothers, and they were making their Toronto debut that night at a local nightclub.

I checked out the band and their website, thehoneybrothers.com, where one review described them as an “…infectious blend of zany country-tinged power pop (think of Ween meets Weezer circa the Blue Album).” A friend and I decided we had to see it for ourselves.

The club, Muzik, ended up being the worst possible place to see a live band. It’s an upscale dance club, much like the clubs you’d see on Entourage. Everyone was more preoccupied with drinking and socializing, so I was able to walk right up to the stage and watch Grenier and the rest of the Honey Brothers up close. It was an enjoyable set, and I’d recommend checking them out.

This brings up the topic of actors who moonlight as musicians. Some have done so successfully, some not. Ultimately, I think accomplished actors have so much more to prove when they cross over into music, and it takes a lot for them to be taken seriously. I think it can work, and has worked. Do I think Adrian Grenier should give up acting for music? No. But the Honey Brothers are a good band, and it’s a great way for him to spend the time between seasons of Entourage and film projects. What do you think? Should actors stick to acting, or is it okay to have a musical career as well?
