These shots were taken by our dear friend Justin Parr, using his fancy fish eye lens at time, crawling all over the stage and bar in his flip flop, fearlessly getting up super-close. This performance happened at the Limelight in San Antonio in fall of 2008, and was a whirlwind performance, when we closed down the bar after rousing sets by the Cartographers and the Blowing Trees.

These shots were taken in advance of our first record, Sick Yellow Flower in 2004. We shot them in Ramin Samandari's studio in San Antonio.

In March 2007 Ramin Samandari shot these images for the cover of our EP, Captains of Industry. Jamie made a paella dinner and we all chowed down, drank non-alcoholic beer in large quantities.

We took these photos in 2007, in front of Odie's old house just across the street from the Hemisphere needle. Erik's quite sick -- awaiting sinus surgery. Actually we're all pale and wan. Grackle nights will do that to you.

These photos were taken by Jennifer LeDuc in Austin Texas when Buttercup opened up for Rob Dickenson, of Catherine Wheel. Joe couldn't make it to the gig until late, so we conscripted John Dufilho (The Deathray Davies, I Love Math, Apples in Stereo, John Dufilho) to take Joe's place on guitar. He was awesome. The sound system and venue wasn't. We did our best to battle thru enormous bass feedback, horrible woofiness, and new screeching sounds especially invented for this event. The carpet of the venue was soaked with some foul liquid -- beer, urine, cat pee? Awesome.
