The Butterfly’s only influences are; Volcanoes, ABBA, Joy Division, the stock-market, Hits from the 60s and 70s, Mr Leo Tolstoy, Carravaggio, Tool, Prince, Mr Oscar Wilde, Michael Jackson, Michael Patton, and the Beano 1989-1994. Having foraged in this fertile cultural undergrowth, the Butterfly pick the juiciest morsels and produce exciting, accessible mini rock-operas. At a performance of the Butterfly, the listener will be thrilled, serenaded and terrified in equal measures before they have to drag themselves back into reality.
Solo musical project by Christian Sinclair based in Manchester, UK. Mathlete is Sinclair's attempt at more melodic songwriting than his main band Speedboat Salesmen and experimenting with tunings, instruments and recording techniques.
Really great three piece band from Leeds. First & foremost, they are great song-writers but its in the execution that makes The New Delamores really interesting. One foot in the sixties with groovy acoustic instrumentation a harmony backing vocals. Melodic, cool and of a standard that the vast majority of modern indie bands will never attain.

Henry Smith (The Sanctuary) says about them - “timeless and universally endearing…Yadi’s voice is infectious to the point of jealousy…they (Hella Cholla) write and perform songs you can sing along to by the final chorus on the first listen.” But beware “silly dancing is unavoidable”.
