Me Like Bees: Bands Are Back Tour at Turntable in Indianapolis on Thursday, September 4, 2025!“They surrounded me like bees; they went out like a fire among thorns; in the name of the Lord I cut them off!” — Psalm 118:12
No, this isn’t a Sam Jackson quote from the latest grindhouse-inspired Tarantino film; it’s the impetus behind the Joplin, MO band Me Like Bees.
Formed on the heels of the 2000s indie rock scene, the Missouri-based band was created by college dropout Pete Burton and former gas station clerk Luke Sheafer in 2009. The pair met while playing high school football together in Kansas, only to lose touch and serendipitously reunite in the same college town in southwest Missouri several years later. The duo shared a mutual affinity for the music of the aughts—bands like The Strokes, Modest Mouse, The White Stripes, and Franz Ferdinand—all of which would serve as the catalyst to the danceable, guitar-driven rock sound Me Like Bees would come to be known for, ever-present on their newly released sophomore full-length album, Disco Two Step.
Notably, the band released their first full-length album, The Ides, via Loveway Records in 2013. In 2014, they won first prize at the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands in Hollywood, CA—beating out 20,000 other artists and securing a coveted spot on the Vans Warped Tour. With a clear trajectory of growth, the group knew the next step was to make more music.
They got the chance to work alongside Goldfinger frontman and well-known producer John Feldmann for the There Will Be Time EP (2016), and they didn’t stop there. In 2018, they partnered with Image Comics and artist Jeremy Haun for the release of their graphic novel-inspired EP, Songs From The Realm.
With years of experience and a firm grip on their studio sound, Me Like Bees is making sure they’ve got your attention.
