Duckbutters: Feelin' Dirty EP and unreleased LP

The Duckbutters came out of nowhere. I'd been going to shows around the Bay Area since 1998, and playing shows since 2000 (as I just confirmed using Smitty's excellent database at http://bayareapunk.com/). I thought I knew everyone in the "scene", though looking back that probably meant I knew 50 people in Berkeley, Alameda, and East Oakland. Then in 2002 I moved into the Chapman St. Warehouse, and suddenly all these peninsula weirdos were just around. How had I missed S.H.A.T., the Duckbutters, the Abi-Yo-Yos, and everyone else who came out of the West Bay woodwork at that point? These kids could fucking HANG - their bands were great, and it was always worth the time to bullshit with Dave, Boof, Ramus, and the rest between sets.

Out of all those West Bay bands, I think the Duckbutters were my favorite, though I probably only saw them two or three times. They put out a tape EP on RISK! records, and I believe they were supposed to put out an LP on SPAM before that all imploded (the tape I ripped, from Corbett, says "upcoming LP" on it). At some point (before the tape?), they also put out a S/T CD, but I never really listened to it much, even though the rest of their output was usually in my rotation.

Here is everything the Duckbutters recorded, as far as I know. I don't think these tracks are available for purchase or download or anywhere else.

Boof is now in the Trainwreck Riders and also plays in (or is?) Old Pal. Dave is no longer with us. I never really hung out with Soki, and so I don't know what he's up to these days.
