Album Notes

"...their blend of funk, country, bluegrass, midwestern radio rock, and even sweet balladry is raucous, infectious, sexy, and genuinely funny. Their unlikely style meshings are so seamlessly executed that they make perfect sense." -Monica Kendrick, Chicago Reader

"...they seem to be influenced by every artist ever recorded..." -Melody Baetens, The Detroit News

"The bastard love children of Tom Lehrer, the Kinks, Dave Mathews Band and the Rugburns-or some other recombination thereof-Ghettobillies snuggle right up against that thin line between sublime and silly..." -Chris Handyside, Metrotimes

"this four piece is an outfit simply defying the norms of music...outlandishly clever!" -Luke Smith, The Michigan Daily

Four and a half Stars! "Their music is not a series of knock knock jokes, but rather a whirlwind of pop culture references and sneak peeks at the seamy underbelly of society...and are sung with such earnestness that the listener can scarcely believe their ears." -Zac Johnson, All Music Guide

"...you get frenetic folk with echoes of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Young Dubliners..." -Northern Express Weekly

"...these guys are as talented as they are crazy..." -Dave Hoger, Jackson Citizen Patriot

"...Ghettobillies really are that good..." -Alan Behler, Orbit magazine

"...this Ann Arbor trio achieves a level of professionalism not usually heard on a local level." -Real Detroit

"If the Indigo Girls had a sense of humor, foul mouths and overactive libidos, they might sound more like Ghettobillies...The songs are intoxicatingly catchy and highly danceable" -Wendy Case, Detroit news

"The Ghettobillie's shows are a scream." -Erick Trickey, Current Magazine

"...Ghettobillies are an irreverent, iconoclastic, scatological shock fest where you can't quite believe what your hearing." Todd Spencer, Current Magazine

This is my favorite Ghettobillies CD yet. I had my DJ play two songs from this CD at my wedding - Bubblin' Gold and Riskin' Heaven. Now my New York friends ask to listen to this CD all the time. This is a fun CD which will make you want to dance, dance, dance!!!!

You can't help but get up and dance, dance, dance, especially to "Jiggle Low". More country/bluegrass tinged than their third full-length album, "Still in the Pink", "Butterface" is a funny, irreverent, mildly rude, tongue-in-cheek commentary on the weirdness of every day life. And you can dance to it!
