Hi, friends. Welcome to the Princess Goes to the Butterfly Museum Wiki. Here's where you'll receive updates on and learn more about the band and its members, especially with the release of their debut EP looming in the (hopefully) near future.

As for me, my name is David, and I've been here since day one. I first heard about the band through Instagram when photos of the members together began popping up and their debut show was announced.

To be honest, I didn't initially think anything would come of my support of the band. I never thought I would get as involved in it as I am, as I only checked it out because I've been a committed fan of Michael C. Hall since I was thirteen (I am freshly nineteen as of writing this post). At most, I thought I'd occasionally hype the band and maybe buy some merch and listen to the songs once they came out, but no way was I going to fall in love with the songs. They probably wouldn't be my type of music anyway... right? Wrong.

When videos of their debut performance hit social media, I was instantly hooked. I love how unique and refreshing this project is. The band's sound and denial of the bounds of genre, whether an intentional move on their part or not, were like I'd never heard before and likely never will again. I had the fortune of seeing the band live at what was and is the only 18+ performance they've ever announced at (le) poisson rouge when they opened for Pinc Louds in August 2019, though according to Pete, the band is making an effort this year to expand the age range of their shows.

My favorite Princess Goes song is "Come and Talk to Me," otherwise known as "CAT2ME," which hasn't been officially released yet. They recently recorded the music video for it, though (P.S. if you're reading this, Princess Goes to the Butterfly Museum, get on Tik Tok already and upload those shoot videos because I'm absolutely starved of material). However, the full studio version of the audio can be found in the middle of an Eastside Punks podcast episode, specifically the one that features Matt as a guest. "Glass Wing" and "Love American Style" are also among my favorites.
