Butterfingers

Salam.

Butterfingers would like to express our condolences to the family and friends of:

LIEUTENANT KHAIRUL JAMAL

and

LIEUTENANT SHARIL

Both Liutenants passed away in a car accident on Saturday, March 21 at 8.05pm, while on their way to Sunburst 2009.

Emmett, Kadak, Loko, Loque, Greg Henderson and the rest of the Butterfingers family wish to extend their prayers and thoughts for the two Lieutenants, their family and friends, during this sad time.

We'd like to also send our prayers to their two comrades who are still in a coma, and ask all Butterfingers fans and friends to pray for their speedy recovery.


Thanks to Lieutenant Hairry Rosli for informing Butterfingers of this sad and untimely event.

Hi Everyone,

We hope you are doing well. We at Penerbitan Butterworld are doing fine :)  

Two weeks has passed since Sesi Istana Budaya Butterfingers, but we are still getting great feedback, well-wishes from everyone -fans,media, promoters, friends & family. We have nothing but to say THANK YOU for your support.

As promise earlier, Butterfingers is still going to be around. If not physically, Butterfingers will be here virtually.
Anyways, we would like to announce that we have launched Butterfingers' new single which is Mati Hidup Kembali.

We would like to thank Kerol, Atomsk, their team & Phuture Phlow for everything that they have done for the video. Thank you for the time spent brain-storming with Butterfingers on the story-line & theme.  Kudos guys :) (by the way, the video clip was made with only ONE TAKE!)

We would also like to thank our crew, Rafuyel for taking pictures, Tajul & Kemat for helping us with everything on the day that we made the video.

With all the war & hatred in the world, we're hoping & praying that everything will be ok and may god bless us all.

So now, we would like to present Mati Hidup Kembali Video Clip and The Making of Mati Hidup Kembali. Have fun & be safe :)

x Butterfingers, January 2009.

2008 has shown a level of success in the local independent music scene that has put Butterfingers on par with their more commercial counterparts. The Malaysian independent music scene has never before garnered this kind of attention and fan base, as is proof in the massive press coverage, radio airplay and television appearances local indie bands are currently achieving.  

If 2008 was the year of ‘discovering’ the local independent music scene, then 2009 will be the year of cementing its arrival. We firmly believe that the last step in this journey of getting our music fully accepted is to take it off the small stage and onto the professional stage.  

One of Malaysia’s biggest bands, Butterfingers, is inviting you to catch them in a first ever four shows back to back musical extravaganza to be held at the prestigious Dewan Lambang Sari of Istana Budaya, in January 2009. 

The showcase will be the first Butterfingers full band line up since the release of their hugely acclaimed 6^th studio album, KEMBALI, six months ago, and will be the last time the band play together before they go on indefinite hiatus when vocalist Emmett leaves Malaysia to work in Canada.  

During the four shows, Butterfingers will showcase their biggest hits from all their six albums, 1.2 Milligrams, Butterworth Pushful, Transcendence, Malayneum, Selamat Tinggal Dunia and their latest Kembali.  

Also featured will be two opening bands that have enjoyed recent popularity and success, Hujan and Bunkface. 

All featured bands have had singles climb local music charts like X-Fresh, Hitz.FM, Era.FM and even MTV Asia, and have also been chosen as Bands of the Year by magazines like KLue and ROTTW.  

Both Hujan and Bunkface will open for Butterfingers on the one day only special unplugged performance on the 17^th of January. The 18^th of January will see Butterfingers in full swing covering a comprehensive repertoire of 12 years worth of their noteworthy hit songs.  

Butterfingers along with the aforementioned bands have been integral in taking the Malaysian music industry to the next level, and together with Istana Budaya, we feel we can raise the standards even higher.  

SESI ISTANA BUDAYA BUTTERFINGERS will kick start 2009 in the most musically uplifting way and we would be honoured to share this journey with you.

Good evening

Thank you for all the incredible support you've given especially at RTW 8 (so phenomenal) and thru out the year, May your hair, your teeth, your face-lift, your abs and your economy not fall; and may your blood pressure, your triglycerides, your cholesterol, your white blood count and your debts interest not rise. So that you can grab our newest product next year and come to see us perform again.

Happy Christmas folks and a happy new year
