What began as an electronic music collaboration between StayC Meyer (aka Butterfly Hambone) and Nikki Wolgamott (aka Viking Snocone), Furniture Girls turned a corner in the early 2000s.
At the time, Nikki was interning as a sound engineer for producer Bubba Jones, owner of Seattle’s ContactCreate Studios. Upon hearing what the pair were working on — an edgy blend of industrial, dance and hip hop, with lyrical topics ranging from urban culture clashes to otherworldly romance — Bubba decided to get involved.
First, he signed on with the band as its principal producer and lead guitarist. Next, he set out to add a drummer
(Thane) and bassist (Jim) to the Furniture Girls’ music, which had previously only existed on Meyer’s and Wolgamott’s drum machines.
Since then, Furniture Girls have raised their profile in the Seattle music scene, growing a loyal fan base by performing over 50 high-energy shows around the Northwest with dozens of local and national acts such as Sky Cries Mary, My Life With The Thrill Kill Cult and Kristeen Young.
Some of the group’s noteworthy recent appearances include a radio interview on KKNW (Seattle), a two-week run as a featured artist on Microsoft’s Windows Media Guide and as the support band for Sky Cries Mary on their tour of the Northwest in December of 2009.
