Hercules is the Roman name of the strongest man in Greek mysticism. The son of Zeus and mortal Alcmena, was a champion and a superb warrior, supposedly making the "world safe for mankind" and due to his outward appearance quite a flirt for men and women. Andy Butler's project Hercules and Love Affair plays with that image and the salacious rumors of Athens and Rome. Choosing old school house and true school disco as his soundtrack, Butler alongside vocalists Nomi Ruiz, Kim Ann Foxman and Antony and The Johnsons' front man Antony Hegarty, H&LA created one of the freshest debuts in modern music history, which got happily accepted by NYC's hipster smithy DFA and everyone else on this planet afterwards (see 'Blind' = mega hit). Here we have Butler, who left a Denver leather bar once to move to metropolis, explaining the roots of his fruits.
