Butts!
March 30th, 2010
Here are some videos I shot a few Fridays ago (3/19) of goofy garage girls Butts at the Black Lodge on Eastlake. The first one— “Alcohol”—is my favorite of their silly, short burst party punk: “Oh alcohol! Is pretty fuckin’ awesome!” Slays me every time. “Hung Over” and “Dollar Bills” are also included. You can watch one more for “We’re Butts” over on my YouTube channel. The daffy duo is Rachel Ratner and Shannon Perry: the former an integral cog in local favorites Partman Parthorse who’s now the resident riff wrecker for Butts, the latter of the defunct Katharine Hepburn’s Voice and now drunkenly drumming her way to comedic glory. Are they going just simply for tomfoolery and well-played rock tunes? Or are they looking for a meteoric rise to the top of the party pile? Well, you can pick up a cassette or check out their show and decide for yourself. First show back from their Cali tour is April 15th at the Comet.

I saw The Butts at Cairo on Valentines day weekend. Needless to say is was the most suprising, fun, and rather charming thing that happened all weekend.
These girls are a party unto themselves with a type of glorious acceptance of their love for booze that doesnt read at all like the battle cry that is Courtney Love.
This crack aint wack. Go butts.

Whoa. A Courtney Love reference? I didn’t see that coming at ALL.
