New blogs posted!

Since we are playing our last few shows (for a long while) we've decided to get back in the blog swing. Yippie! So check out our tour diary... BOSTON!

4.25.2005

HEY EVERYBODY!!! We Butchies, after 7 years of playing music together, have decided to take

what we will call a “hiatus”.

Here’s the scoop (inside scoop): simply, we’re all ready and desiring to “move on” and pursue other crazy shit in this crazy life. We still love each other and have loved loved loved our experiences and all our fans and in a godly way all our enemies too (not love them as much though). Our last record, Make Yr Life, stands as testament to the place we’re all at individually, and although many of you reading this may feel sad, you should remember that we’re calling it “a day” in the most positive of ways. Looks like we’ll do a few shows throughout the spring, some random ones in the summer, and perhaps more in the fall and that’ll probably be it for a while.

As of now it looks like Melissa will be drummer slut and play with all sorts of different folks (eg: Gretchen Phillips), and she’ll pursue her career on SNL, with a plan B of becoming a cloud. Alison has decided to go back to her roots of zoology and is looking to get a PHD and be a SCIENTIST, either that or maybe plan B of becoming an essential oil. Kaia is moving to Portland OR and plans on working at Hooters mostly only because she is currently obsessed with “short shorts” and thinks she’ll look great and trim in orange short shorts. She’s planning on keeping up in musical ventures and her plan B is to become a pair of short shorts.

We’ll still keep our website up and running for the time being, and you can contact us directly if you’d like to (see contacts link), we are all relatively flaky in returning emails but we will try plus we love and appreciate hearing from you.

Just like the song, we’ve “had the time of our lives” and dirty danced our way across this bizarre country for a damn long time, acquiring new friends and fans along our way.
Thank you
THANK YOU
Thank you for all your love, support, high fives, low fives, gifts, presence, enthusiasm, undergarments, overgarments, hospitality (all those of you who housed/entertained/fed us) and just for being YOU. We have been as grateful to all our fans as y’all have been grateful to us, keep FReAKY QUEeR being yourself loving yourself.

Love,
Kaia
Melissa
Alison
(aka The Butchies)

HEY ALSO! Keep checkin’ back cuz we’re gonna have a merch sale soon, and Kaia’s putting out a new cd that’ll be available at our online store AND more shows will be posted AND Kaia’s working on a sort of “butchies memoir” thing, It’s a book so it’ll be by chapter. Mel will send out e-list updates about all this stuff too. So don’t just go away quite yet, ok?

OUR New site is launched!
Hello one, hello all! And welcome to the home of the Butchies! Thanks so much for visiting, and we do hope you enjoy your stay. We will be providing fresh linens daily and a free (FREE!) continental breakfast!

Seriously (ya silly) we’re a ROCK band and we got some ROCK moves. For step by step instructions on how to do the BUTCHIE (it’s a dance move, similar to the Shuffle with a dollop of Hustle). Click here.

For some "real" news read on…

We’re so frickin’ excited about our new (4th) album! It’s called MAKE YR LIFE, because that’s what we’re all doing right? Read all about it in our bio.

So, the last couple years have seen many changes and a lot of growth for the Butchies. We decided that a big “FUCK IT” was in order and threw caution and a giant wad of $ to the wind. We completely financed the making of our new record, hired a manager, got ourselves a new record label and booking agent, and we all had some serious makeovers.

Our band has stayed active, touring and writing songs, but we are about to get hyper-active, strap on some turbo jetpacks and take the world by storm (or at least by some big scary looking clouds). We’ll begin touring in April and will be rocking harder than ever and we’ll be tighter and weirder and louder and better looking (?). You can read all about our wacky touring life on our tour diary page. Yay!

BUT THE NEWS, the real news, is that we love our band, we love each other, we love rock music, we’re not planning on stopping what we’re doing anytime soon and we hope you can feel the love and feel the passion, and that you’ll come Flashdance with us.

Take your passion - Make it happen!
