Drunken Butterfly is..

We are jølle, kenneth and laurence (in alphabetical order). We make nice music, we make beautiful noise. We have friends, not fans. Our memetic selves have killed god. We host irregular basement club nights. You can listen to us here:

News:

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).

Latest record:

We've too much love and energy for just one band, so this year (to save us from tears) we've 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 shore of New Jersey.
