Kaiser Records are proud to bring you- from the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country and the oldest inland city in the continental United States- Lancaster, Pa's very own sons, The Butchers!
The debut release “Reach Out! With… The Butchers” contains thirteen well sharpened implements of their trade all GUARANTEED to slice easily through the doldrums of common radio fare. Running the gamut of Garage, Pop, Psych, and R&B- from all-out wild Rave-Ups to tales of teenage shutdown; from bone-chilling Ballads to primitive pounding Punkers! The Butchers don’t limit themselves to just one cut o’ meat; they slaughter the whole dang sacred cow while channeling the spirits of The Fantastic Dee-Jays/Swamp Rats, The Yardbirds, The Pretty Things, The 13th Floor Elevators, and the Flamin’ Groovies. Includes special guest appearances by Kris Alutius & Scott Rogers of the amazing Mondo Topless.
This album is chock full o’ prime cuts just the way we ordered: Thick and Bloody! And so, we invite you to dig in, and Reach Out! With… The Butchers.

The Butchers outside Otto's after upstaging the Brimstones.
The Butchers and the Brimstones Live at Otto’s, NYC 1/26/08
January 28, 2008 - New Jersey garage/surf rockers the Brimstones have earned a reputation for being a great live act, but tonight they were somewhat upstaged by the Butchers, the garage/punk trio who opened the show. It wasn’t that the Brimstones played a bad set; on the contrary, they roared through about an hour’s worth of eardrum-damaging, Pabst Blue Ribbon-fueled riff-rock with a couple of surf-ish instrumentals thrown in for good measure. But the story of the night was the Butchers. This Lancaster, Pennsylvania-based trio – two guitarists, on Rickenbacker and Gibson, respectively, plus a drummer – absolutely set the place on fire. Their sound is raw, pummeling, unadorned, in other words every quality that makes a song catchy and fun to hear live. Their Rickenbacker player took most of the solos, getting the most gorgeous, distorted guitar tone we’ve witnessed anywhere since seeing Scott Morgan with Powertrane when they played Warsaw. That’s what an overdriven vintage Fender amp will do if you leave your effects pedals at home and just turn it up to…about 5. Otto’s is a small place and Fender Twins are mighty amps. Although the stuff on the Butchers’ myspace has bass, they don’t have a bass player. For a band who obviously take their cue from the 13th Floor Elevators, they don’t really need one.
It would have been nice if the Brimstones had played more of their surf stuff, because that’s what
Howdy, gents! As you know, the Marysville Tavern is wrapping up shortly. Thunderhawk's throwing a big ol' bash this Friday, and we're hoping some of our friends might stop by, and maybe play out on a tune or somethin'.
