Neon and the Argie Bees are an Australian virtual band, founded in 2011 by Darien Brice Dickinson, as the music outfit of Studio RGB-Newt / The Fishal Project, to produce soundtracks and other original studio albums for their productions. They are managed by The Fishal Project's independent record label, Fishal Project Records.

Comprised of NeonWabbit characters, spearheaded by Neon Mascot and other rotating members in multicoloured bee costumes, such as Flye 'n' Frie, and Nyah (who also appears in Argie Bees spinoff band Mira & Fret as the second guitarist), they experiment in a wide variety of genres, including Experimental, Heavy Metal, and Pop Rock.

History

Creation (2011–2015)

A early version of the band was created in 2011 to be listed as the artist name for a few non-serious joke tracks created for the Know Your Meme community, one of which was titled and stylized as "Bold Lettering (Before the Brackets)".

Hiatus (2015–2017)

The band is said to have been on hiatus a few years after their founding, as NeonWabbit focused on college, however, they did make a couple of tracks and covers as background music for his student films, including Breath (2015) and Parramajestique (2015).

Return and Put Down Your Pickaxe (2017–2019)

A song was required for use as the credits theme of The Aussie Goldmine's original animated series pitch pilot, resulting in the creation of two demo versions of "Put Down Your Pickaxe". As a test to see the process of uploading to music streaming services, the two demos were bundled together were bundled together in November 2023, and distributed via Distrokid, with self-published Bandcamp, SoundCloud, and Myspace versions of the single released a short while later.
