Hairy Butter biography, Hairy Butter discography
Forget the 'sound of the pirates', this is the real sound of the underground.Guaranteed not to feature Craig David, Dreamteam, Norris Da Boss Windross, Victoria Beckham, or any other 'garidge' muppet."Your greedbag basket is empty.We now have mp3 samples available for you lovely folk!This release
from Hairy Butter is cleverly constructed and everything sonically
makes sense, even though it seems at times spontaneous and
incredibly chance oriented, which is a wonderful testimony to the
notion that there are natural relationships and connections between
sounds and samples already.Check out what we've had to say in the past about Hairy Butter in our weekly reviews.Hairy Butter, fill in the form below and we'll get back to ya.Norman Records:Unit 1 Armley Park Court, Stanningley Road, Leeds, LS12 2AE, UK.These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital.They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things.Running on a funky new server!Check out what we've had to say in the past about Hairy Butter in our weekly reviews.Hairy Butter, fill in the form below and we'll get back to ya.Mail Address: (required)
What do you want to know about?Norman Records:Unit 1 Armley Park Court, Stanningley Road, Leeds, LS12 2AE, UK.The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had.An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten.It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up.Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money.Don't Need No Jeff Bridges To Put Music To My Poem!London, ICA Saturday 7th April 2001
Richard Thomas and Hairy Butter?"Who the fuck are they"?The Strand on the way to the ICA."Ah yes, didn't they just release an album or something" yeah, so I'm told, but even if I'd heard it, I doubt it would have prepared me for the performance I was shortly to witness.Now, this lot have to be the worst excuse for a band I have ever come across; I would like to blame their wretchedness on the flush of youth, but that would be doing some fine young bands a mighty disservice, after three minutes I wanted to kill the singer, after ten, I wanted to kill the whole band, and after twenty, I wanted to kill myself.Next up was Richard Thomas and Hairy Butter, three guys in suits, and looked a bit like Kraftwerk or something.After about twenty minutes it was over, Richard leaving the stage playing a duck call whistle as he left the stage.I've seen a lot of stuff.Fucking amazing is the answer.This was rock'n'roll but not as we know it.VVM, Antenna Farm and any other Fat Cat "band" you care to mention, but Mr Thomas and the Hairy Butter guys gave every ounce of everything they had.And how many times can you say that after watching a band?
