Hey, y’all! Welcome to The Flutterbies July news… It’s a HUGE month for us!

We can be reaching 52,000 film patrons in Southern CA, NYC, Dallas, Houston, Sacramento, and more. And in Los Angeles, visit any Laemmle theatre and get a groovy coupon for Amoeba Records!

New Pic and Videos

The Flutterbies with our buddy Mindy Sterling, from the Austin Powers movies! Pic taken at the Artist’s United benefit for the Living Free Animal Sanctuary, at King King in Hollywood. Later that evening, our guitarist Bart Ryan (second from right) was electrocuted on-stage by an ungrounded microphone. Proceeds from the concert saved pets from euthanasia, and bought Bart several bourbons after his ordeal.

Also, click here to visit our friend Mark’s YouTube channel. He filmed a recent gig and posted some cool clips… Check out live versions of favorites from our EP, a new as-yet-untitled song, and Maureen & Adam Daniel’s infamous cover of Motorhead’s “Ace of Spades”.

Reviews

We’re big in Belgium! Our improbable fan base in Belgium & The Netherlands keeps growing, purely by word-of-mouth… If you speak Flemish, click here to read our fourth Belgian review. Otherwise, here’s a translated snippet:

…Davis with her Alt Country band brings 6 great songs that makes one look forward to a bigger release… What is clear when listening to Texan-tainted “How I Get Over You”, country waltz “Faith In Rain” and the subdued “Hummingbird Heart” is that Davis is a master of all styles and allows her voice to drag like only the greatest vocalists can.

The Flutterbies Need You, Again!
