Buttersprites “Fresh Mochi” in Pantheon!

Back in 2005, Dionysus Records released an album by a wonderful all-woman Seattle group called Buttersprites. The group split and became Mini-Rex around 2009, and in that year, the group’s composition “Cherry Blossom” was licensed to the “Believe” episode of the television show Flash Forward. In 2023, Buttersprites once again make their way into television in the upcoming episode #207 of the animated sci-fi drama Pantheon with their song “Fresh Mochi”! We congratulate Elizbeth, Jen, Haruko, Lunarre, and Julie, and give thanks to Ocean Park Music!

We are pleased to announce the track “La Mer Azure” from the Robert Drasnin album Voodoo III on Dionysus Records appears in the new Tom Hanks film, A Man Called Otto! Check it out in theaters through early 2023. The movie will be added to Netflix later in the year. Congratulations to the Drasnin family and Skip Heller who was responsible for putting together and polishing up Voodoo III after Robert passed, and many thanks to Ocean Park Music!

Dionysus Records has released its first LP in two years, Josie Cotton Invasion of the B-Girls!

A collection of theme songs and featured tunes from a variety of exploitation films from the ’60s and ’70s, Josie Cotton Invasion of the B-Girls is a one-of-a-kind album. The LP boasts liner notes from director John Waters, who knows more about this film genre than anyone. His own song, “Female Trouble,” (from the film of the same name) is prominently featured. The track features the TOWER OF POWER horns; other featured musicians throughout include David Kendrick (DEVO, SPARKS), Paul Roessler (SCREAMERS, TWISTED ROOTS), Geza X, Kenny Lyon, and many others.

While the movies that are highlighted are often considered low-budget affairs, the production value of these versions takes many of these numbers to a new level. Among the songs on the LP are “Maneaters (Get off the Road)” from Herschell Gordon Lewis’ female biker flick She-Devils on Wheels, “Run Pussy Cat” from Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! And “Beyond the Valley of the Dolls,” both Russ Meyer exploitation classics. The theme songs from The Girl in Gold Boots, Green Slime, and Black Klansman (the Ted V. Mikels film, not Spike Lee’s) are all on board and delivered with expected Josie panache. Two songs from the giant Japanese monster genre, “Goodbye Godzilla” and “Shiawaseo Yobou” are also lovingly rendered.

This just popped up, it was from the sole Dionysus video release called The Obnoxious Rock ‘n’ Roll Hour, released on VHS way back in ’86 or so. The Untold Fables perform their song “Rockhead” for a very enthusiastic crowd at Safari Sams in Orange County, CA. 1985. Dig it!
