The Flutterbies July newsletter: gigs!

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

Hey, y’all… Hope you’re having a groovy summer! We have some gig news to share with you, both past and upcoming.

Home Wreckers

We had a wonderful evening last month in Laguna Beach, playing a house concert for one of our loyal fans who helped fund our East Coast tour in May. The sponsorship package he purchased included a live appearance, so we played an acoustic set and then took requests from his 1980’s metal loving friends. Who knew you could rock Rush on a baby grand piano? Hope we didn’t break anything…

Two Worlds One

You know those angelic harmonies on "Hummingbird Heart" and funky Motown backups on "Kill Him With Kisses?" They were performed on our CD by our good friend Molly Pasutti. Her new band Two Worlds One is playing one of our favorite venues, Kulak’s Woodshed, Saturday night July 24 at 8:00 PM. We’ll be there and wanted to turn you on to what’s sure to be a great evening of music. Come on down! Full information is here.

Grand Theft Audio

Finally, come out in August for a unique Flutterbies show! Carl Kozlowski, winner of the Laugh Factory’s "America’s Funniest Reporter" contest, invited us to be house band for the first anniversary show of Grand Theft Audio—a hilarious fusion of music and comedy.

Here’s details:

The Flutterbies full-band electric!
Tuesday August 3 at Busby’s East
Wilshire & LaBrea in Hollywood, CA
Comedy show starts at 7:30 PM, followed by a smokin’ set by The Flutterbies at 9:30 PM

www.altcountryforum.nl review — Belgium Loves The Flutterbies!

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

reviewer martin overheul writes:

I’m a sucker for sensual female voices, or – for that matter – for any exceptional female voice. Whether it’s Joni Mitchell, Dusty Springfield or less known singers as Lisa Mednick or Carla Cook, I really love the nuances and emotions they express with their voice. That’s why I’m so excited with the brand new self-titled EP by the American altcountry band The Flutterbies featuring the ravishing Maureen Davis. Trust me; this is a band with lots of potential.

Maureen Davis’ voice has all the great qualities of singers like Lucy Kalplansky, Pat Benatar (especially when she ‘belts out’), and Sue Foley while the guys in the band create a solid yet playful foundation.

Opener ‘Louder, Louder’ does what it promises: crashing guitars, a very tight playing rhythm section, and a fiery Maureen Davis deliver a powerful song with a distinct wink to The Pretenders. On the other hand a song like ‘Hummingbird Heart’ shows that this band also has a feeling for refinement. The delightful arrangement of this song offers Davis’ voice all the opportunities it needs to stand out.

‘How I Get Over You’ and ‘Kill Him With Kisses’ need to be played a full volume. These songs rock like a freight train gone berserk and Davis outclasses the likes of Pat Benatar by far. In between the band plays one of their two truly classy songs: ‘Faith In The Rain’, a superb country waltz with sparkling instruments and a dazzling voice. The second classy song is ‘Damn Glad’, a seemingly simple ballad with highly sensitive vocals by Maureen Davis.
