THE JAZZ BUTCHER IS PLAYING PTP FEST 2

[tweetmeme]

The Jazz Butcher, also known as The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy and The Jazz Butcher And His Sikkorskis From Hell, are a British musical group founded by Pat Fish. Their oeuvre is blackly humorous with such topics as Thomas Pynchon’s The Crying of Lot 49, an unrequited crush on Shirley Maclaine, and an ode to SF writer Harlan Ellison. The song “Sister Death” is not about the comic book character, but was inspired by the last words of Saint Francis of Assisi (common theme, I guess), “Welcome, Sister Death.”

And they’re awesome. AND they’re playing at this year’s Part Time Punks. Remember who played last year? (Let’s try to forget how badly I dropped the ball on that one please…)

I’m pretty stoked cause not only do we get The Jazz Butcher this year, but they’ve somehow also managed to book Section 25, The Intelligence, Medium Medium, The Raincoats, and MORE that we don’t even know about yet. Check it:
