"...Butterthief, Manish Tandon's cutting-edge NYC quartet, is like a soft explosion. With an alternative indie sound that crosses the bridge from dreamy, melodic themes to surf/spy music, Butterthief is edgy, artistic and inspired." –SKRATCH MAGAZINE
“Volunteerism, meditation and sobriety aren’t the kinds of words you would normally associate with a modern rock act, unless you’re talking about NYC’s Butterthief….Butterthief play melodic tunes that range from soft ballad-like numbers to more aggressive rock and roll. What makes Butterthief really stick out in a busy sea of rock groups striving for attention in the New York area is their cleanliness. Each member of the group practices deep breathing meditation and tries to volunteer whenever they can. The band recently played at the Art of Living Silver Jubilee Celebration in India, which was a huge peace event that brought over two million in attendance. In an effor to avoid sounding too preachy, Butterthief try to convey their positive message through lyrics and energy, rathern than constantly jabbering….” -THE AQUARIAN WEEKLY
"Butterthief, a post-indie rock group from New York City, shows their support for the fight against extreme poverty by sharing their song, "Central Park", with ONE members today. Listen to "Central Park", and all the ONE Music, on the ONE Podcast Page. A note from Butterthief: 'The more you give, the more strength will be given to you.' -His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Dear ONE Campaign Family, We give you this song to help put ONE more smile on the face of a hungry child, to help prevent ONE more person from getting a disease, and to push us ONE step forward in becoming ONE global family. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti, Manish Tandon, Butterthief - ONE.ORG
