Michael C. Hall, Peter Yanowitz, and Matt Katz-Bohen discuss their debut EP.
Michael C. Hall and Princess Goes to the Butterfly Museum Revisit First Concerts

This week host Lior Phillips is joined by Princess Goes to the Butterfly Museum. The trio was founded after Michael C. Hall met Peter Yanowitz and Matt Katz-Bohen while starring in Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Though they met on Broadway, the three musicians’ paths were very different.
Yanowitz was a member of The Wallflowers in the band’s earliest years, and has drummed for everyone from Yoko Ono to Billy Bragg and Wilco. Katz-Bohen, meanwhile, has worked with a variety of acts, and has spent the last decade-plus as a member of Blondie. And while Hall is best known for starring roles in Dexter and Six Feet Under, his musical pedigree is also impressive, including Broadway spots in Chicago, Cabaret, and Lazarus, the latter of which he worked closely with David Bowie.
Named at the suggestion of Katz Bohen’s young daughter, Princess Goes to the Butterfly Museum just released their debut EP last week after two years of working out their psychedelic, gothic electrorock. In celebration, This Must Be the Gig connected with the trio to discuss their touring with a Broadway production, their first times playing together, the origin of Katz-Bohen’s Jew-tah nickname, their first concerts, Hall’s propensity for on-stage mishaps, and much, much more.

Fresh off the March 13th release of their new album, Sister, Nigel Godrich and Laura Bettinson of Ultraísta join This Must Be the Gig to premiere their brand new short film directed by the band and filmed throughout London. Featuring a series of interconnected videos for songs off the record, and using the London Underground as a route between the tracks, Bettinson hops off at appropriately color-coded locales to deliver the vibrant electronic jams in a variety of surreal environments.
The short film fits the wide-screen cinematic heights of Sister, each and every moment composed and controlled by the trio. The album started off as a series of improvisations, Bettinson layering a few vocal loops, Joey Waronker finding a beat to match, and Godrich stitching it all together with galvanized synths and sculpting the arching shapes in the studio.
The video segments for the resulting material feel similarly intimate and organic, and freeze-framing any one moment will reveal an immaculately composed frame. Sister amplifies and strengthens their already assured electronic compositions, a poignant and passionate sci-fi soundtrack for the beautiful surreality of life. The film, then, is a twisting, rhythmic journey with hi-fi production, kinetic turns, and unexpected arrangements.
In the accompanying episode of This Must be the Gig, Godrich and Bettinson dial in with host Lior Phillips to discuss details on the film’s fascinating production, the origins of Sister, their histories as performers and first concerts, and so much more. Watch the short film below, as well as find links to listen to the full conversation wherever you listen to podcasts.
