Madamn Buttafly
Madamn Buttafly otherwise known as Rachel Figueroa is the sweet sweet vocalist behind the words. She's a Latina Jewish poet/singer looking to be a star. Born and raised in a state of utter confusion she has taken her creative drive to the next level and is working on various solo projects while bringing up the rear of this musical group. Her conservative views and colorful philosopy are often at odds with the main contender, Words Myth.
Rachel is always looking to collaborate with various artists especially those that are willing to take her Bob Dylan-esque lyrics seriously, and work to book shows and get the music out there. It's all about the music people. Those wishing to collaborate with Rachel should email her at Rachel@Gmail .
