# Sons of Butcher (band)

Sons of Butcher is a Canadian rock band. Their music fuses vulgar absurdist comedy with rock music in a style that is described as "mock rock". Their band alter-egos are the focus of an animated television series developed by S&S Productions and aired on Canadian animation network Teletoon's programming-block network The Detour On Teletoon. Several of the band's songs were included in the soundtrack for the 2007 film Pigs, along with a cameo by Trevor Ziebarth, and his brother Jay Ziebarth.

## History

In 2004 Sons of Butcher began performing live in Hamilton, Ontario for small but appreciative crowds. Their blend of comedy, rock and deli trays quickly became a local sensation.
After the completion of their second TV season, the Sons of Butcher live act hit the road for a full 22 show East to West Canadian tour, reaching from Halifax, NS to Nanaimo, BC. The tour culminated in a sold-out performance at the Mod Club in Toronto, Ontario - which was recorded for broadcast. The concert was released as a 90-minute live special called "Sons of Butcher: Tourin' the Canada". It featured a mixture of live skits filmed across Canada and live performances from the Toronto show. The special aired May 18, 2007, on Teletoon in Canada. The entire, unedited performance was released digitally as a live album entitled "Moppin' The Mod Club: Live In Toronto" on February 14, 2019 through Infamous Butcher Records. It is available on all digital streaming services worldwide.

## Side Projects
### Moonlight Desires

Moonlight Desires is a Sons of Butcher side project named after the well-known Gowan song of the same name. Spinning off from Sons of Butcher's tendency to play 80s covers in their live show which quickly became crowd favourites, Moonlight Desires was formed in late 2013 with the mandate of exclusively turning 80's pop songs into heavy rock tunes. The first album Frankie Goes to Hamilton was released independently in the summer of 2014. The second album Just The Hits: 1981-1985 was released on September 21, 2017. It was named the #15 Best Canadian Metal Album of 2017 on Hellbound.ca, had many positive critical reviews, and was the first frontline release for Trevor Ziebarth's record label Infamous Butcher Records.
