Five guys, buddies from ways back, get together to jam around some ideas songwriter Keith Bailey had. He had began writing about the what the band members were going through- divorce, personal struggles, being broke, in a word.. baggage. Through that honesty came chemistry. That chemistry turned five guys in a room to brothers united by passion. Passion to have a few hours a week to forget about dead end jobs, forget about debt and the day to day struggles, and at least have a break from heartache pain. Rehearsals reflected it. Shows reflected it. And.. attendance reflected it. We all got baggage, it’s in our hearts, beneath our skin, under our eyes, in our past, and will be with us until we part this world. Bailey learned to tap into his and write about it. They rubbed they’re nickels together and booked some time in an Athens studio to record 8 songs that are a look inside the lives of five guys who'll I'll bet are a bit like you & I. The albums called Better Left There, you can fill in the rest.

ANDPW are not like wolves. This is no metaphor! No analogies! ANDPW are plainly what they say, ALL NIGHT DRUG PROWLING WOLVES. Four men from the dirty south who make dirty music. Sexy and soiled. And they proudly wear their appetites on their sleeves. Everything from The Clash to Elvis Costello to Jimmy Cliff. From whiskey to speed to your little sister. ALL NIGHT DRUG PROWLING WOLVES are animals, and this is Rock and Roll. -SC

Although raised by a piano teacher/church organist, Jeffrey is a self-taught musician/composer. He began playing drums at age nine, then picked up guitar and piano in his teen years and began writing instrumentals. Over the years, accordion, toy piano, electric piano, chord organs, glockenspiel, melodica, banjo and other noise makers have worked their way into his repertoire. His debut full-length album She Traded Her Leg (Lona Records, 2006) was received to great acclaim and supported by an international tour, including dates in Hong Kong, Paris, and across the United States. His follow up release, The Garden of Scissors (2009) continues in the imaginitive musical collagework of his prior release while expanding on new ground, including collaborations with Sanni Baumgaertner of Dancer vs. Politician. Jeffrey's penchant for tribute performances, in which he reinvents the legacies of some of his favorite influences in the manner of John Zorn, have to date included sets of material by Tom Waits, Vince Guaraldi, and an index of the music for the films of David Lynch. Other recent work includes Jeffrey's creative extension into film, including a score for C. Hefner's film Birdcatcher, which curried favor from legendary experimental filmmaker Guy Maddin, as well as a short film written by Jeffrey for his song Lucy 5's Egg, as interpreted by Italian video artist Marco Missano. Such wide ranging habits and capabilities remain continued demonstrations of not only Jeffrey Butzer's eclectic and explorative taste, but also his virtuosic capability and confidence in the creation of new sound.
