Biography
Furniture Girls is an explosive, funky blend of electronic, industrial and alternative rock.
What began as an electronic music collaboration between StayC Meyer (aka Butterfly Hambone) and Nikki Wolgamott (aka Viking Snocone), Furniture Girls turned a corner in the early 2000s. At the time, Nikki was interning as a sound engineer for producer Bubba Jones, owner of Seattle’s ContactCreate Studios. After hearing what the pair were working on — an edgy blend of industrial, dance and hip hop, with lyrical topics ranging from urban culture clashes to extraterrestrial romance — Bubba decided to get involved.
First, he signed on with the band as its principal producer and lead guitarist. Next, he set out to add a drummer (Thane) and bassist (Jim) to the Furniture Girls’ music, which had previously only existed on Meyer’s and Wolgamott’s drum machines.
With the full band in place since 2007, Furniture Girls have raised their profile in the Seattle music scene, growing a loyal fan base by performing over 60 high-energy shows around the Northwest with dozens of local and national acts such as Sky Cries Mary, My Life With The Thrill Kill Cult and Kristeen Young.
Some of the group’s noteworthy recent appearances include the 2010 Comcast Bite of Seattle, the Rock n’ Roll Seattle Marathon and other regional music and arts festivals, as well as a two-week run as a featured artist on Microsoft’s Windows Media Guide. The band released its debut album, How I Learned to Crawl, on August 31st, 2010.
