Episode 8: Chris Butler (The Waitresses) - Part 1
Although the Waitresses are best known for their 1982 single "I Know What Boys Like," the history of the band can be traced back to the late-1970s Akron musical scene. Chris Butler cut his teeth in bands such as the Numbers Band (15-60-75) and Tin Huey before transforming the Waitresses from a side-project into a fully-fledged band. The Waitresses released their debut full-length, "Wasn't Tomorrow Wonderful?," on ZE Records/Polydor in 1982.
In this first part of a two-part interview, we discuss Butler's early life and career in Ohio, his time with the Numbers Band and Tin Huey, and the genesis of the Waitresses.
