Jeff and Daniel Greene officially launched The Butterflies of Love in New Haven, Connecticut, USA, on March 15, 1994, under the name The Silver Bug. Ditching the world of coffeeshop open mic nights and farmers market one-off performances, the duo assumed the name The Super-Sonic Daredevils of Show Business. With a six-piece avant-garde improvisational jazz band backing their efforts, Jeff and Daniel spent the harvest season on New England’s agricultural fair circuit. Garnering a motley collection of fans but completely exhausting their budget, The Super-Sonic Daredevils of Show Business disbanded at the end of 1994. Jeff and Daniel regrouped as stripped down two-piece The Butterflies of Love and hastily recorded an album in the living room they shared during the spring of 1995, America’s Newest Hit Makers.

For the next two years at Mike Arafeh’s Coffeehouse Studio in Middletown, Connecticut (Jeff’s hometown), the duo recorded a completely new debut album with the help of friends and fellow musicians, a few of whom found themselves permanent members of The Butterflies of Love: Scott Amore on all sorts of keyboards

    I love "Wild" and "Shame". Is Jeff the brother that sings those? I love the dichotomy between the vocalists-one guy (Daniel?) is so bottled up, while the other guy is like an exposed nerve. I love "Mt Everest" too. I guess I should get off my ass and buy more of their releases...

    Act Deranged is soooo wonderful, the same for In a Blizzard in a lighthouse. I was amazed by the low number of listeners here.

    How come more people don't listen to this band? Seriously ... they're The Go-Betweens of the 21st century. (I even own America's Newest Hitmakers, the debut album even they don't acknowledge.)
