Can you please introduce yourself and your role in We Butter The Bread With Butter?

Hello everybody !! 🙂 Well, I’m Marci. I’m a 21 years-old student and the guitar-player of my bandWe Butter The Bread With Butter.

How did the band come together? What is the story behind the band?

Tobi (who does the shoutings) had a metalcore band before, and I played in a looooot of different bands before. Even in some pop bands 😀

Somewhen I joint this metalcoreband and we get such big friends. we spend each evening together, played some nintendo or something and it was just a question of time, when we’ll be going to start making music in our own way.

I have to ask-where did your band name come from?

Haha, that’s a good question. Actually we don’t know. We just wanted to have a much too long name, with no sense….so…one day we wanted to get some food from mc donalds and tobi said: “hey, what about we butter the bread with butter” I had to laugh sooo hard, that we nearly had an accident 🙂

For new listeners, how would you describe the sound of We Butter The Bread With Butter?

I think it’s a very new und modern sound. We’re mixing very hard deathcore elements with a lot of danceable electro-music parts. We just try to create songs, you have fun, you want to dance, you want to mosh and want to party while hearing it.

Your album, Das Monster aus dem Schrank, was just released about a month ago. Can you tell me a little bit about the making of this record?

This is a story nowone believed us jet 😉

We had a few (veeeeeeery very bad) songs and decided to make an album 🙂 and after the first instrumental songs have been recorded we were listening to theme and I had to go to the toilet. Suddenly I I noticed how great the syllables of german children’s songs get into the music…..that’s how our style was born 😉

How have fans responded to the album?

Of course, there were some conservativ people, who hate us for what we’re doing. they don’t like mixing modern elements into some metalsongs. But mostly it was just amazing. At the beginning we treat all orders on our own and send shirts and cd’s to our fans 🙂 But soon it wasn’t possibly any longer for us. And the feeling that the people gave us on our firts shows was sooo amazing. Each time we play, people just want to have party and a great evening.

What are your touring plans for the rest of the year and for 2010?

We’re going to release our second album at the end of this year =) and we’re working sooo hard on it. The next CD has to be perfect !!! 😉

In 2010 we want to have some great shows and tours, and we hope sooooo badly, that we’ll have the chance to come to america next year to play a lot of shows.

What are some of your musical influences?

This is a very long list. It starts with bands like The Black Dahlia Murder, Suicide Silence, The Bridal Procession, Bring me the horizon and all this stuff.
But we also like each song, which is simply good ^^ so we like to hear to lady gaga for example to 🙂 And there are a lot of electro-bands we love like: Crystal Castles, Justce or Frittenbude 🙂 But my favourite music is film music. Hans Zimmer is my greatest idol.

Coming from Germany, has it been hard to attract American listeners to your music?

No !! Our friends from america always have been sooo nice to us. this feeling….making music you love, and it’s heard in america, too. is just unbelievable. Our Label “Redfield Records” did a lot for us to make it possible and we are
very grateful for that chance !! 🙂

What are your goals for We Butter The Bread With Bread?

At the beginnig we didn’t have any 😀 haha But now, we want to be the hardest party band in the whole world !!!

Any last words for our readers?

Be nice to your parents !!! 😉
And seriously: Thank to our fans !!! !!! we don’t say that, because we have to and everybody have to say it….no…
We thank you sooo much. you made it possible, that the first part of our biggest dream become reallity !!!
