Episode #27 - Beau Butler (AVAIL)
Beau Butler aka Beau Beau started out as a guitarist in the Reston band Hostile Environment but joined AVAIL just before they moved to Richmond. He became their self-described cheerleader, go-go dancer, and tour manager, though others have referred to him as a hype man. He told me, “I don’t like playing music. I like jumping around screaming.” It seems that he’s been doing that at punk rock shows since his first Corrosion of Conformity concert in 1985. He continues to love discovering new hardcore bands and introducing his teenage kids to the joys of jumping around screaming at shows too.
