Hi Everyone,
We hope you are doing well. We at Penerbitan Butterworld are doing fine :)
Two weeks has passed since Sesi Istana Budaya Butterfingers, but we are still getting great feedback, well-wishes from everyone -fans,media, promoters, friends & family. We have nothing but to say THANK YOU for your support.
As promise earlier, Butterfingers is still going to be around. If not physically, Butterfingers will be here virtually.
Anyways, we would like to announce that we have launched Butterfingers' new single which is Mati Hidup Kembali.
We would like to thank Kerol, Atomsk, their team & Phuture Phlow for everything that they have done for the video. Thank you for the time spent brain-storming with Butterfingers on the story-line & theme. Kudos guys :) (by the way, the video clip was made with only ONE TAKE!)
We would also like to thank our crew, Rafuyel for taking pictures, Tajul & Kemat for helping us with everything on the day that we made the video.
With all the war & hatred in the world, we're hoping & praying that everything will be ok and may god bless us all.
So now, we would like to present Mati Hidup Kembali Video Clip and The Making of Mati Hidup Kembali. Have fun & be safe :)

In 1991, Loque and his Malay College Kuala Kangsar (MCKK) schoolmate, Kadak discovered they had a passion for music that went beyond the usual rounds of gigging and jamming sessions. Forming what was then known as Loque's Tail , Loque and Kadak, together with a few MCKK friends, started producing their own material, with the hopes of making a name for themselves in the Malaysian music scene. It was while jamming in K.L during 1993 at Black Widow Studios that they bumped into Emmett, who was there jamming (as guitarist) with his band at that time, Grunge Dayz . Impressed with what he saw, Loque challenged Emmett to a ‘jamming showdown', after which they mutually decided to join forces, skills and creativity, to form their own band, and brand of music. After meeting up with drummer Kalai later that year, Butterfingers was officially born by the end of 1993, ready to take Malaysia by storm. And with the final line up of Loque (songwriter, guitarist), Emmett (vocals, guitar, strings and lyricist), Kadak (bass) and Loko (drums), Butterfingers hit the underground gig scene with such vengeance that had most of their shows sold out and described today as ‘the stuff of underground legends'. Their previous previews of the Malay album have received nothing but rave reviews from fans and music critics alike. It's new, it's different, it's definitely a step in the right direction for Butterfingers and the Malaysian music industry. With five albums to their name, over 120,000 albums sold to date, offers to play all around the world, and hundreds of thousands of fans from all over the globe, Butterfingers have become a landmark on the Malaysian rock scene, and their reputation for keeping on the cutting edge of creativity and originality have placed them in the Malaysian music history books – and their tale is only just beginning.

____________________________________________________________
Selamat Tinggal Dunia proved to be surprisingly original and any concerns of Butterfingers 'selling out' were put to rest with its release. The album brought a new dimension to Malay rock with a mixture of controlled raw-ness and mature musical arrangements which was never meant to sell as well as the Malay or Indonesian bands that sang easy listening ballads which some critics have claimed to be lacking in depth. Even the words Emmett used on the album were 'alien', borrowing many terms associated with the Malaysian royalty. In interviews the band have said that this was a conscious move on their part to explore new grounds within Malay language music which they felt was becoming all too predictable.
Emmett left for Canada to further his education before the release of Selamat Tinggal Dunia and there were rumours of Butterfingers breaking up or melting away (helped by the title of the record itself which can be directly translated as Goodbye World) but the band themselves have maintained that there is no real cause for such fears as they plan to continue working together as often and as best as they can. No matter the future outcome for Butterfingers, they have ridden the unique challenges as artists in Malaysia and most definitely stamped their mark as Malaysian music legends.
Loque is now in Berklee College of Music pursuing his double degrees in Music Synthesis and Composition but he is very much an active member of Butterfingers.
