biographical info
"Acid without the acid" is how Butterflies & Zebras were described by the Ottawa Citizen. B & Z are two guitarists and a percussionist who "paint in sound", originally inspired by the sonic tapestries of Jimi Hendrix but adding folk, free-jazz, blues and world music into the mix.
The 3 tracks posted are from Butterflies & Zebras first CD release. The CD is an incredible 16 tracks of mesmerizing soundscapes interspersed with abstract, psychedelic passages and rhythms. From the opening drone of "Tapedeck" to the electric torture of "Porpoise Death", Butterfiles & Zebras explore the guitar and its full range of sounds. What sets Butterflies and Zebras apart from other bands is the distinctive sonic tapestry through which B&Z communicate with their audience.
