If a starving Madonna in Asia had a baby with Iggy Pop in the early 70's, we would be that child.

The Buttertarts formed when Kathryn Hoffman and Amoree Lovell (like aim a ray gun!) started rolling Dungeon and Dragons dice to find some piano chords that worked well together for songs. Kathryn's quirky, raw, creativity provided the lyrics and voice to add to Amoree's fluid, yet driving melodies. Kathryn's Fiance and best friend, Adam Goldman, member of thebrotheregg, gleefully decided to bust out some bass. Jenni Nissila from The Turnups blew us away with her slaphappy, disco drum explosion addition. M.Liotta from Love Meter, a fabulous well- rounded musical friend, brought the guitars to a raw PJ Harvey level with a sprinkling of the Wah pedal here and there. We are all just slightly orally fixated friends who like to play food-related tunes when the sun goes down.
