Event Details

On the heals of recent sold-out shows in Sydney and Melbourne, and in the middle of a North American tour with Missy Higgins and Katie Herzig, Butterfly Boucher is planning a return to her homeland this November for her first extensive Australian headlining tour.

With the tour also comes the release of Butterfly's new
single, Not Fooling Around. (Rel: 26th October 2012).
A synth-heavy dance song meets film-score that lyrically
treads a fine line between mischief and regret. "Not
Fooling Around might be one of the trickiest songs for
me to recreate live, especially when I'm just playing solo!
But at my recent Melbourne show, without any
prompting, the audience backed me up, singing the song
with me from top to bottom. I was blown away," she says.
"After that experience it seemed like a no-brainer to
make it my next single... the fans have spoken!"
Following the success of her first single, 5678!, Boucher
invited her fans to join her for "20 Seconds of Pure
Dance," asking them to submit videos of themselves
dancing to 5678! for 20 seconds. The participation was
overwhelmingly positive and is captured in a compilation
video which premiered the 21st of August
on recordstoreday.com, set to the new Moist remix of the
song, it features over 70 entries from her fans across the
globe. "It's been an amazing experiment to see people
willing to be silly and share it with world. It was incredibly
inspiring to see the lengths people went to to join in the
fun,"
After her forthcoming Australian headlining tour, Butterfly
will rejoin Missy Higgins as bassist and vocalist for a
final year-end tour of Higgins' highly acclaimed, Boucherproduced
album "The Ol' Razzle Dazzle." She says,
"As much as I probably need a big fat holiday, I really
want to see this chapter through. It has been a fulfilling
year, getting to work with Missy, to co-produce her record
and then help bring it to life on the road. It'll feel good to
play these songs with her for one last tour. Plus she's
generously invited me to play one of my own songs
during her set, so how could I refuse?"
"Recently she's everywhere, from Nashville collective Ten
Out of Tenn to her side band Elle Macho to playing bass
on tour with Sarah McLachlan." - Michael Dwyer Rolling
Stone
Not Fooling Around captures a battle in her head - "I'm
not trying to win you back ... fine, I'm trying to win you
back" - with pounding synths and musical curveballs
aplenty." Cameron Adams, Herald Sun
