Butterscott: Everything You Wanted to Know about Butterscott, and Then Some

01/1996

In January 1994, Brett Milano's column in the Boston Phoenix featured an unknown suburbanite named Jonathan Scott, who won his Demo Derby for a collection of 3-minute pop ditties about candy, sex, and toys. Upon reading the article, schmoozehound Mikey Dee realized that this was the same Jonathan Scott (nee Pressman) who lived next door to him in Chelsea when he was a boy. One phone call later, Mikey and Jonathan decided to take Jonathan's songs out into the clubs and set about recruiting members. Jonathan's friend Stevie Crater was pulled for guitar chores, along with local celeb/playboy James Apt (who has since gone on to weirder pastures in Six Finger Satellite), and Pete Sutton plays bass. Since Pete plays in two other well-known bands, his seat is sometimes filled by Joel Simches, better known as the drummer for Curious Ritual. Their influences range from '60s bubblegum pop to Brian Wilson in his more or less lucid moments to the world of Sid and Marty Krofft. The band's simple, sometimes sloppy songs have gained attention from many local music fans, whose reactions range from bemused to bewildered. Crackpot [Notion] genius Tim Robert has recorded a 7" of "Bartleby"/"I Wannit Bad" on Dahlia Records, which will be released, well . . .soon. Who's your favorite member?
