These "Buttersprites" can be viewed...and heard...at:
http://www.buttersprites.com/
for those interested.

Since most of the folks at an ARSC gathering have experienced music of
the past, it is hard to imagine a vast amount of interest in the group,
which seems to be more of an artistic statement in the 21st century vein
than a musical statement. If you can imagine a (mostly) North American
group of women copying Japanese copies of punk rock...

Note in particular "Dog Food" which may have been intended to have a
point...?!

Then again, I may be reacting due to old memories of "Doggie In the
Window?" (The Buttersprites do more barking...)
