You are about to enter the wacky
world of Lungbutter.
Lungbutter is a "supergroup" of sorts, coming together to form a
"superior musical entity" rising from the ashes of previous groups such as
Dartboard Za, The Donuts, Black Market Farts, and Za Theatre.

| Breno, Geck, Collins, and Ward, all coming off the
recent demises of their respective bands, were heading home to Regina together, having
attended the AC/DC concert in Saskatoon. Driving down Highway #11, the four guys
encontered a hitchhiker who claimed to be on a trip across Canada. She was a mysterious,
dark-haired pale-skinned Dutch musician named Cecilia. Once she got the guys talking
about music, it occured to the guys that they had never worked together on a project.
After arriving at Eva's Nest in Regina, the group began writing several songs. Cecilia's
incredible musical talent helped fuse the seemingly un-blendable writing tendencies of the
original four, and soon the entire group was working as a unit.
From late August to early September of 1996, the group (who had by this time, formally
embraced the name Lungbutter) recorded the material which comprises the album
"Available Now". The recording of this album had progressed more naturally and
productively than any project the members had ever participated in before.
Just when they thought they had all the answers, fate came along and changed the
question. According to the band, on the evening of Friday, September 13th, 1996, Cecilia
Difora succumbed to the effects of "Brainfreeze", and left this mortal coil.
Even though there were several written but unrecorded songs, the band recorded only one
more, "Brainfreeze". This song is the guys' tribute to the spirit that had
brought them together.
The band continues on, despite this great loss, having been taught to work together by
Cecilia, and their incredible experience with her. |
