Firestone presents dj Andrew Butler (Hercules & Love Affair)
Hercules and Love Affair is a musical project from New York based DJ Andy Butler. Members include Andrew Butler and Kim Ann Foxman. It is signed to DFA Records. The single "Blind" featuring guest Antony Hegarty (lead vocalist in Antony & The Johnsons) was released on 3 March 2008, and the debut album (produced by Butler and Tim Goldsworthy) was released on 10 March. Their self-titled album has been critically well-received and charted in the top 40 in several countries. The touring group in 2008 featured guest vocalist Nomi Ruiz.
The band's central figure, Andrew Butler, began his musical career at 15, DJing in a Denver leather bar run by a hostess called Chocolate Thunder Pussy. He then moved to Brooklyn, in order to attend Sarah Lawrence College. According to Butler: "I've been writing songs since childhood. I made music for dance performances in college (where he studied under Martin Goldray), like a remake of Gino Soccio's 'Runaway' done in the style of Kraftwerk."
The band made their live debut on May 17, 2008, at the Studio B venue in Brooklyn, New York, before going on a European and North American tour
The first single "Blind", co-written by and featuring guest Antony Hegarty (lead vocalist in Antony & The Johnsons), was awarded Best Song of 2008 by Pitchfork Media. The follow-up "You Belong" featured the New York-based vocalist and musician Nomi Ruiz.
Butler's second album under the Hercules moniker is tentatively scheduled to be released in September 2010. In early interviews, he stated his intent to release music with a rotating cast of performers and musicians. In an April 2010 interview with Pitchfork Media, Butler suggested that Kele Okereke may feature on the album in addition to two new vocalists, Shaun Wright and Aerea Negrot.
