Our music is an order of indie pop with a side of Sia's charm and a tall glass of Goldfrapp's sass!!
We are Austin Texas transplants. We call ourselves "The Backstroke and The Butterfly". After years with Geffen, MCA and others in various bands, Lonnie ventured on his own - producing and writing. While Mina released an album on WGP Records and toured the south. We love to write and record music - and read books on the Beatles and swim. Thank you listening and/or illegally downloading "THE BACKSTROKE & THE BUTTERFLY" :)
Here are a few things our friends and critics have to say:
"'Whiplash' and 'Seasick Sailor' are originals that tickle the imagination" - Music Connection Magazine
"Beautiful voice and great songwriting. - Tobi Miller (Ex guitarist/producer - The Wallflowers)
