Back from our overhyped UK tour, full of joy, compliments and dirty english breakfasts (the non-vegetarians amongst us tanked up on meat like shouldn't be humanly possible). Our music went down well and we didn't break anything. So many thanks are in order for the people who made it all possible, most notably grilly (and the rest of to the boats), nicola and the ashmores, but also including the lovely drunken promoter people at the white hart and them who lent us equipment, corey and alex (i was nice with your bass). Bonus thanks to corey for borrowing my camera and taking us some awesome photos, and to julie for playing at roadie. Thanks to all the other londoners for not shooting, robbing or swearing at us too loudly.

8. (a mass of smoking wreckage)
9. Final Mammoth

With too much love and energy for just one band, we decided to split our lack of talent three ways to bring you a triple split compilation record of awe and doom - fucking awe and doom. The syncopated jingle jargle of Drunken Butterfly is ever present, popped and refined and sexed up like never before, but now the sound is backed up by the kraut disco thumpings of Französisch Ist Sexy and the dying roar of the Final Mammoth exploding and burning to the shores of New Jersey.

A much darker xmas record for 2009 (the CD cover at least). It is an even higher low-fidelity piece of audio experiencement, once more breautifully recorded in our basement HQ/reherser, and featuring multi-dimensional noise sculpture solos from each band member. It might come with an all new exclusive comic, life size giclée prints of the band, or fossilized dinosaur turds, depending on the certain physics in question at the time.

"it sounds disturbing like a reoccuring nightmare" (also sprach zarathustra)

..now laurence really has messed up the code

To read the most entertaining, thrilling, ridiculous, and epic adventure to ever grace the insides of a drunken butterfly album booklet, please click these scary disembodied floating head caricatures of your favourite idiot noise heroes:

Despite the events being completely out of the timeline and potentially not even canon, the comic occurs somewhere between episodes 2 and 3. Also way in the past. These are the problems you have to deal with when half of your story is based on reality and the other half is pure geekery.

28.08.2011 If you haven't been rocking it down at Studenterhuset the last two nights this is what you've been missing:

That's right, we love to advertise our festival events after they've happened.

Following on from the success of the previous Intentional Bum parties we were forced to drag it out from the underground and up into the StudentHouse above. This means more space, more bands, more beer, and more bums. A two day festival event with tables and chairs and a proper stage - barely bummish at all. And the compromise? No scribbling on the walls and a 20kr entrance fee, but that includes a free beer! All bar prices set ar 10kr, whatever you fancy (including a mixer), the cheapest and bestest party the weekend has to offer. There was even free humus and hotdogs.

Have you ever seen so many brilliant bands so happy to play for free?

And the final scores - 2711 beers drank by about 500 people on friday and 350 people on saturday.

It was all just to prove that we can make saturday night look like a wednesday. Word.

19.08.2011 Based on designs from our second comic ever, Yoshihiko Satoh (Japanese of course) has built us a series of guitars to unleash our ultimate gutiar noise potential abilities (unlocked). Neither Sonic Youth nor Yuri Landman haven't got no nothing on us no more:

A boy is allowed to dream, no?

28.06.2011 Hurray for Germany. Didn't we tell you we were playing at an open air festival in Flensburg? (There's a reason we're in music and not marketing.) What follows is a quick report:

Contents of our tour-car: 3 boys, 2 guitars, 1 snare. many effects pedals, 3 noise boxes, 1 egg slicer. 3 sleeping bags. half a map. 4 litres fizzy water, 2 packs of toffypops, 900g lossepladsen. 2 boxes of snus. 3 sandwiches. (Yes it's like Fear & Loathing in Flensburg for 6yr olds.)

Songs that made it rain: (six)/2+(seven)/2

CDs given out: 20

Best post-gig comment: "I've never heard music like that before" (that guy also got a free CD from us.)

Breakfast on Sunday: 3 veggie whoppers, 1 angus xt bacon and cheese burger, 1 whopper bacon and cheese burger, onion rings, 2 medium fries, deep fried chilli cheese balls, 6 mayo dips, 6 ketchups. To a total of 287DKK (in my defence, i was in the toilet when the boys put in this ridiculous order).

Rock and Roll: Yes.

Special thanks required: Marian and Nils, for being legends.

There are new photos on the photos page for those of you who are so inclined (they are very nice).

09.05.2011 Firstly, a warm and squishy thank you to everyone who made friday's party the highlight of friday night. Yes, you rocked it. AGAIN. Fabulous people, all of you/us. Even if none of you can remember it.

The beer tally - 367 cans. We were selling them at 5kr each and some people still bought their own beer. The liquor tally? Who knows? But I do know who finished off the whiskey! (hint: he's not a member of the famous A-team.)

Unfortunately, as victims of our own success the basement wont be hosting such parties again (fire safety and all that other very fair stuff - so there shall be no complaining), but we will find a way to spread the love and expand the universe upwards and onwards. We will not let the event dissolve into myth or legend. Even if it means dragging a piece of berlin across spacetime into our beloved city. Transgress bounded occupation. Put your maybes in a sock.

Secondly, the professionals that we are, we completely forgot to announce that it was infact our album release party and were supposed to be selling (or nearest offer) our beautiful and shiny new album. You may not believe we even have a new CD, I know our punctual reputation is waning, but we have photographic proof:

If you would like one just send us an email, or fill in our guestbook to that effect. Alternatively, downloadable DIY kits will be available when Laurence gets the time (can be bothered) to put one together.

07.04.2011 Drunken Butterfly are proud to announce Club the Intentional Bum - Part 2! After the massive success of our last party (no one died) we are set to stage a repeat performance. We will be rocking the Studenterhuset basement clean on Friday 6th May - tattoo that shit into your calender. Doors at 8pm blunt. Bands start at 9pm sharp.

Drunken Butterfly will of course be playing, after all it is our ALBUM RELEASE PARTY! (fear not, we will only play three songs.) Also in attendance, for your listening pleasure we have: Hjortene, Französisch Ist Sexy, Project Hindenburg, and a certain awesome international superstar who few may know but all will love (that's a promise). Other bands may be announced, or they might just spontaneously pick up instruments and start playing.

Entrance is FREE if you bring your own cup. And it's also FREE if you don't! All drinks (beer, wine, liquor) will be priced at an unreasonable 5Kr. Earplugs may or may not be available.

Four members of The International League Against Crimes Against Music in one basement (maybe even five)? They said it couldn't be done! Come dance in the ashes of the old new world order!

16.03.2011 Shit the bed sideways it's a new comic. Click:

Lodged somewhere between brilliance and the trashcan. And not only that, there's also a 'new' song for your listening pleasure. This particularly lushious ballad for-tells om the best cake man can eat i chicago. They put shrimp in that shit and then you die. This is like the recipe. The xylophone is a metaphor for the light at the end of the tunnel. Kind of. To be honest, I've not actually listened to the lyrics - I don't speak klingon.

26.02.2011 A big thank you to all of our friends who came to rust for our show last week (or whenever it was). You may have been drunk at the time, alcohol muddying your memory of our gig, so if you suspect there may be inconsistencies between the brilliance of our actual performance and the beautiful rendition of it in our new comic, you are wrong. Click:

And we'll see you again on friday. Beers are on jølle!

21.12.2010 I'm very excited to be able to introduce "The International League Against Crimes Against Music" (terrible name, we know), just click to view full

If you're a little confused, then now you know how it feels for the rest of us. All will become clear. Maybe.

Of course a big thank you to all the people who are letting us use their likeness (um, and name). I mean, are you crazy? We're totally fucking with your reputation here. Wait until the Daily Mail hears about what you do in your free time. And the RIAA will never side with you again (once we blow their offices sky high).

11.11.2010 A belated thank you to everyone who was in attendance at Drunken Butterfly's first big party hosting. And an especially big thank you to us, for having the audacity to put on and pull off such an amazing party fest. The words 'legendary' and 'epic' fall like two towers crumbling into dust when faced with describing the enormity of the event. Even if the words were gouged into the surface of mars by GIANT SPACE DRAGONS, a network of canyons spitting fire (maybe even brimstone) into the far reaches of space, the words would still pale in comparison to the singularity that was 'Club: the Intentional Bum'. There are no metaphors or similies for the joy we created (and destroyed).

No other bar on earth sold a cup of anything for 5kr that night. Twelve crates of beer, a crate of wine, about twelve bottles of various liqours. Five incredible bands in under three hours, including your new favourite bands the Sock Puppets and Eating Animals. We are the Andy Warhol of Copenhagen, and we're running the coolest underground club this city has ever seen. Fuck everybody who wasn't there.

To prove these lofty and ridiculous claims, there are photographs to be viewed. Just don't stare at them for too long, lest their very fabric absorbs you entirely, your whole universe becoming a two dimensional array of badly contrasting pixels. Oh, the horror.

And to whoever left bags of snus hanging from the ceiling, we expect you to come and clean them off. with your teeth. Thanks, until next time!

17.10.2010 For your viewing pleasure there are now (not one but) three videos uploaded of our most recent gig. There's one for the Drunken Butterfly set and two for Franzosisch Ist Sexy. The Drunken Butterfly set was a bit special, featuring only very old songs (including the first ever Drunken Butterfly composition) and old guitarist petter. (You too can play with Drunken Butterfly! For just 200kr and a couple of beers we'll make you into a rockstar for the night! -No talent necessarily necessary)

15.10.2010 Thanks to everyone who turned up for our show at Islands Brygge Kulturhus last night. Although to be honest, wasn't our performance thanks enough? We told you Franzosischh Ist Sexy is sexy, now we've proven it to you. Also, here's a new comic:

Did you get the not-so-subliminal message? We hope so. There's also a secret special it-makes-no-sense edition of this comic, but you'll have to scour our website to find it. Maybe it will show up when you sign our guestbook (I'll tell you now that that's a lie).

27.09.2010 We're full of good advice. It's just the implementation that you have to careful with. Like that idiot who told us we absolutely must make ourselves a webcomic. Whoops, click:

Damn, we're good at marketing..

20.09.2010 On October 29th Drunken Butterfly will be hosting the first ever (and potentially last) 'official' Studenterhuset basement party (facebook). Think of it as a warm-up party for the long awaited reopening of Studenthuset. There will be live performances by at least us and Eating Animals, and non-live music by everyone else. There will also be drinks for the price of what you can buy them for in Netto. Come and join us underground. Ear plugs are optional.

09.09.2010 On schedule and with shading, the next episode of your favorite comic based on the true story adventures of your least favourite band. Click:

I knew that monkey was a bad idea.

25.08.2010 Episode ten is finally upon us (actually the eleventh, but nevermind). In a mobius twist of self-referential madness - a shocking discovery - the secret identities of our own comic creators FM and SM! All is revealed and nothing makes sense. Click:

Now you know who comes up with this shit does it make you feel any safer? And just to be even weirder, there's also a special limited collectors edition in anaglyphic 3D.

11.08.2010 You never heard about it but we (spoiler warning!) almost had a gig a few weeks ago. It was annoying that it never happened, but at least we can get a comic out of it (did you know, true fact, that all drunken butterfly comics are based on true stories?). Click:

shit man. up next!

23.07.2010 It's the summer, and apparently our hardworking comic creators (mysteriously known only as FM and SM) have nothing better to do than make another comic, which appears to be becoming somewhat fortnightly. As for the Drunken Butterfly boys, well they're busy getting well earned R&R in Roskilde, Slottsfjell and Berlin. it's not all about R'n'R you know. Anyway, if you can build us one of these noise modulators you are welcome to the patent. Click:

And not even a joke about Prussian Blue? Up next - the secret origin of why we don't have any gigs at the moment. And who are the mysterious FM and SM? All will be revealed!

14.07.2010 We survived another Roskilde, and as the dust settles all that can be remembered is the obscenity and the endless blue skies. Also those annoying songs that can never be dislodged, sitting in the back of your brain waiting for the trigger. A comic! Bikkj.. just shut up and click:

Obviously this comic is dedicated to all those lovely people of the studenterhuset camp, because who else knows what any of it is about?

08.07.2010 The sea is foaming with a whole lot of crude, the wave is coming and we're all getting screwed. We're going surfing, we're going surfing:

And we're riding the hottest custom shop boards this side of Christianshavn. Also if you're curious (and you shouldn't be), only jølle is hanging eleven, and he's ready for some serious mullering too.

Incidentally, every member of the real life Drunken Butterfly owns a skateboard, but of course none of us can actually skate (why do you think we have a comic?).

24.06.2010 Our script writer and illustrator have been working like dogs in their pathetic attempts to immortalise our rock and roll lifestyles in mere pictures. And in time for Roskilde too! Warning, actual content may differ from the pretentious description that precedes it. Also, if you work in a really shitty place this might be suitable for it. Click on the disaster that's about to happen:

[read less deep into the archive]

21.06.2010 Watch Drunken Butterfly live! There's two very random song snippets followed by the our double song noise sandwich finale. You gotta love the change in sound quality as the camera moves infront of each amp. Thanks to whoever it was who recorded and edited it so very strangely.

11.06.2010 A bonus for all the people who came to our gig last night (and to those who didn't but wanted to), here is the latest and hottest episode of the drunken butterflies. We're battling Grant Morrison to once again save the world, so The Invisibles is probably required reading for this one. I apologise now, but not for the colours. Zap:

I can't believe it took two months to work that joke out.

As an extra bonus, there are new photos under the photos/gigs section, and they're hot.

14.05.2010 Hi good people of the internet. Drunken Butterfly is once again ready to play some tunes for ya'll! You will know it's us when laurence is bashing the grahamatron, jølle is swinging small bedsidelamps next to his synth-glas and of course kenneth does his very best to fuck up the sound even more with his darling chaospad. The rest will just be beautiful pop, pop, pop, with the occasional roar of the hidden bears we always bring on stage. so! come! happy!

When: 10th of June, 8pm
Where: Islands Brygge Kulturhuset (Islands Brygge 18)
CC: 20kr
Dresscode: sonic

14.03.2010 Just to prove it wasn't a fad, here's the latest update of our favourite less-than-superhero webcomic that's about us - the drunk and drunker butterflies! Another true story, and with massive props to Hjortene for being five years old. Click the workers:

19.02.2010 This is just me testing our very sexy new database blog capabilities that have been hand-coded from scratch by nanobots cultivated from Newton's preserved apple that was bitten by Turing moments before commiting suicide, shreds of Pascaline, and Berners-Lee's ZX81.

It's special, either way.

04.02.2010 We have two things for you today. First is the comic that graces the insides of our new CD booklet, I give you the Drunken Butterflies - special edition:

Secondly, you can now download our previous album, songs about chickens, stones and your cousin. The download package includes all the songs, artwork, and everything non-physical that you need to make your very own copy. Get your copy now, whilst my bandwidth lasts out..

16.01.2010 Since we've had all of our pedals and microphones stolen we've decided to become an acoustic band. Actually we're going to ditch the guitars too, swap the drums for kitchen utensils. We're not even going to sing anymore, we're just going to whistle and grunt. You know we're good for it. And we're never going to practice again. From now on we're only playing live, twenty four hours a day and seven days a week. One continuous and never ending performance. When we're dead the waves we've created will carry on forever. Our atoms will hum until the very end of time, haunting the universe right up to its bitter end. Eternal noiselove.

01.01.2010 No, we love you really. Not all of you, but most of you. And we have no idea why this particular point relative to the sun has been designated as the start of a new anything, but people being people, ever since the invention of time, having apparent need for elaborate dictatorial systems to incarcerate them, we would like to wish you a happy new year.

If you would like to acquire a copy of our luscious new CD then drop us a succulent line through our guestbook (or hey, you know our email addresses anyway). Look at the damage a bunch of excess CO2 in the atmosphere is causing, just imagine the chaos a drunken butterfly could cause..

10.12.2009 Oh shit, it's nearly christmas! What are you going to give all your stupid fucking friends this year? I know! How about the new drunken butterfly xmas CD? That would be perfect! Well tough shit because that was our idea ..and they're not for sale! HA!

01.12.2009 We've been waiting on divine inspiration for our most recent comic, but then somone came along and broke into our practice room. again. So this one is for you, mother fucker. Keep clicking the idiots:

26.10.2009 It's drunken butterfly quiz time!

1. which butterfly recently won an award for best dressed artist at a michael jackson tribute event?

2. how many guitars are owned by the drunken butterfly collective? how many were actually playable three months ago?

3. which butterfly does not use vegan guitar straps?

4. how much bottle refund money did drunken butterfly acquire between 28.09.2009 and 27.10.2009, considering jølle was not even here? (bonus point for guessing how much we got on 28.09.2009)

5. how many times has jølle cleaned the drunken butterfly HQ?

6. 6/2 + 7/2 = ?

7. who are the internationally famous bands that drunken butterfly share their basement with?

8. which tasty and nutritious dish is most likely to be consumed just before drunken butterfly practices?

9. if laurence leaves home at 4:30pm, jølle leaves home at 5:45pm, kenneth leaves home at 7:00pm, and they're all travelling by bike, when do drunken butterfly start practicing? and more importantly, how many beers have they each already drank?

10. tie breaker! (because i think we're going to need it) what's the next drunken butterfly album called? (please)

answers on a fucking postcard or in our guestbook (for a bonus point!). the winner will receive a 100% free (ripped) copy of our next album, when we finish recording and mixing it. you can't say more exciting than that!

08.10.2009 A second comic in under a month? What? Are we not working hard enough on producing our next hit smash record? Don't we have better things to do? Hopefully this piece of finely illustrated dialogue will go someway to address your concerns. Click the idiots again:

I think i'm getting pretty good efficient at stealing clipart. But as for us battling god and saving the world (get the girl, kill the baddies, etc), that epic project is slightly more ambitious and you will have to wait. Eagerly, please.

11.09.2009 I'm very happy to announce the launch of our long unanticipated and excellently crap band comic! It could have waited forever, but thanks to (the excellent) Cats in Paris we got our rearhinds in gear and hit the ground running with a slight limp. I wish I could take this shit seriously, I really do. But here it is, just click on the idiots:

If you're unsure as to which band member is which, jølle is speaking in verdana, kenneth is speaking in arial, and laurence is using the superior tahoma (some of us can't afford helvetica). But we stole all the artwork ourselves. And yes that's the actual bass that laurence plays. Hurray.

The next episode will see us battling god and saving the world (including the secret origin of the drunken butterflies!), just so we get all that over with and can continue with recording our next album. Instead of like, making stupid comics and having wet dreams about Grant Morrison.

10.07.2009 It's the jazz festival this week in Copenhagen and we're playing on the 13th in Valbyparken. Obviously our gig has nothing at all to do with the actual jazz festival, but kenneth has been listening to way too much of it and it's started to effect his playing. We're all doomed. So come down and check out the climate camp, maybe we wont all be doomed after all. We're playing at 7pm (hopefully). Jazz, spazz, it's all the same.

And i need to buy two PP3s for my two DD3s. There's a joke in there somewhere (maybe that i'm using two DD3s).

18.06.2009 Vague whisperings and warnings:

kenneth: haven't gotten to that part jet
laurence: savour it
kenneth: just rough mix'x to get the idea
laurence: i got more than an idea. i almost came.

03.06.2009 Tales Tails of the Butterflies. kenneth walks back into the practice room and me and jølle are both sitting down making repetitive noises with our guitars. We're trapped in the "ping pong scratch click" of our fake delay loop. There are two DD3s on the floor connected in series, but they're long forgotten. kenneth just laughs and comments how he can't believe us guys. Although personally I'm wondering why he didn't join in. Some weeks later, after a gig, someone comments how it's obvious we smoke a lot of weed (I initially typo'd "weird"), and when we convince him we don't, no not at all, he tells us that we should. This is a serious suggestion. but personally i think we're fucked up enough, as the story above illustrates. ping pong scratch click. ping pong scratch click.

24.05.2009 Thank you everyone who came to our show yesterday and made it so magical (although i suspect that was mostly just the DD3)

laurence: i want to update the db site but don't know what to write
kenneth: hnmmm that we kicked ass

20.04.2009 We're back from our overhyped UK tour, full of joy, compliments and dirty english breakfasts (the non-vegetarians amongst us tanked up on meat like shouldn't be humanly possible). Our music went down well and we didn't break anything. So many thanks are in order for the people who made it all possible, most notably grilly (and the rest of to the boats), nicola and the ashmores, but also including the lovely drunken promoter people at the white hart and them who lent us equipment, corey and alex (i was nice with your bass). Bonus thanks to corey for borrowing my camera and taking us some awesome photos, and to julie for playing at roadie. Thanks to all the other londoners for not shooting, robbing or swearing at us too loudly.

07.03.2009 It was a great practice we had yesterday - all shock and awe and dense levels of irony. We went down into our basement only to find the reherser door open, and inside nothing quite how we left it. Taking stock, we're missing Jølle's guitar, a cymbal, the hi-hats, a snare bag, and a sports bag. Several expensive pieces of equipment had been messed with, their wires pulled out etc, and the soundcard had been pulled out of Kenneth's computer and carefully placed back on top, but all had been left. A small flight case had been opened to reveal a very expensive mic, but that had also been left. All our pedals were sitting pretty, and the sexy ibanez bass sat shining on the guitar rack. It makes no sense at all.

Brilliant, because if it's someone who knows us they now have a list of what they should have taken, all our which we now have stored elsewhere. Infact, the only consolation is knowing that whoever did this is a complete fucking moron. You'd have to be an imbecile to fuck up a theft so badly. It's almost funny.

There were no signs of forced entry, so we can only presume it was someone who had a key for all three doors that stand between the street and our shit. Supposedly there may be a few of them knocking around in the wilderness. That or the wankers very good at lockpicking (I promised Kenneth I'd get the word "wankers" into our update). The gate to the street and the outer building door may have been left momentarily open, but we're satisfied ourselves that our door was definitely locked when we left it.

If we ever find out who did it they have a violent date with our egg slicer.

04.03.2009 Announcing the Drunken Butterfly UK tour! Our big gig is in London on the April 17th and we will absolutely love to see you. There will be love, noise and prizes. For an extra bonus, if anyone wants to book us during the week after easter get in touch through our contact form. Our options are wide open and smiling with scary fangs.

18.02.2009 Jølle's cast is off and we're back in business. Hitting the ground running. We have an emergency last minute gig supporting the Lake Bros this friday (20th Feb) at Studenterhuset. Come and say hello, get a CD, a hug, tinnitus, whatever you want. It will be nice to see you.

10.01.2009 Crash! jølle has broken his elbow, forcing us to cancel our asian tour and Illum CD signing session. A big apology to all those who were looking forward to shaking his hand - no can do. And I can take the piss too, because I distinctly remember him laughing at me when i broke my arm, and I'd been skiing, nothing quite so stupid as dancing on the bar (shame no one recorded it, we could have sampled it on our next record). But hey, this is what rock'n'roll is all about, and if he's a true rockstar he'll get his arm cast in a position so he can still play, like gail greenwood did.

On the up side, me and kenneth nor have some breathing room for our various side projects (oi!).

06.01.2009 In danger of sounding like an annoying but rather suitable Thin Lizzy song, we're back in town. The 'fly are ready for re-action.

After spending christmas and new year's hibernation growing fatter by the minute we are ready to rock our extra kilos away. Mince pies and kransekage, as metal as you like. This is good news for those who like us (us), but bad news for our neighbours in the basement of Studenterhuset (who can only dislike us).

What will the new year bring? We don't quite know, but a lot of R'n'R. Potentially the long awaited '57' (pronounced "five seven") video will hopefully arrive (the North Koreans are taking a long time filling inbetween the key frames). I personally like the sound of a 'five (six) seven eight' ep. We'll see.
