Synopsis

Butterface is one of the Charleston area's newest party bands,with heavy emphasis on 80's covers. They'll play just about anything--Avril Lavigne, Pat Benetar, Sheryl Crow, or Third Eye Blind all popped up at one recent show. Their lead female vocalist (London Weidberg) has a phenomenal voice and looks like a diva-in-waiting and guitar man Jeff Calafiore is a ping pong jackhammer bouncing around the stage. Add a Natalie Brown on that 80's keyboard, former Spinkill drummer Brad Adams, and music vet Kevin Kless on guitar, and you get one glossy group of party fun.
