Bernard Butler Biog
Bernard Butler is an acclaimed English musician, songwriter and producer, recognised as one of Britain’s most influential guitarists. A founding member of Suede, he co-wrote and played on the band’s early classics, including The Drowners, Metal Mickey and their Mercury Prize-winning debut, before his ambitious work on Dog Man Star cemented his reputation.

After leaving Suede, he formed the celebrated partnership McAlmont & Butler, releasing Yes, You Do and later the album Bring It Back. His two solo records for Creation were followed by a prolific production career, shaping releases for The Libertines, Duffy, Tricky, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Paloma Faith, The Cribs and many others. His collaboration with Duffy on Rockferry earned a Grammy and multiple Brit Awards.

Butler has appeared as guitarist on projects for Aimee Mann, Neneh Cherry, Bryan Ferry and Bert Jansch, and continues to work across songwriting, scoring, teaching and radio. Recent highlights include his Mercury-shortlisted album with Jessie Buckley (For All Our Days That Tear The Heart) and his 2023 solo release Good Grief on 355 Recordings. He also continues to tour regularly.

A Banda Atrioul foi formada no bairro da Vila Alpina, Zona Leste de São Paulo no ano de 2003. No início nos reuníamos após o horario de saída da escola, para tocarmos rock clássico, pop, jogar video-game, fazendo aquelas reuniões convencionais de adolescentes, carregadas de boas conversas e risadas. Com o passar do tempo, tivemos a iniciativa de criar musicas próprias, com as influências do pop rock, hard core melódico e do screamo. Com 'punchs' de guitarras marcantes e vocais excêntricos. Em 2005 gravamos a nossa primeira Demo, intitulada "Atrioul 2005", e onde recebemos convites para tocarmos fora da capital Paulista, passando por cidade, como, São Roque, Vinhedo, Itu, Curitiba, Ponta Grossa, Rio de Janeiro e em outras cidades no Brasil afora. Atualmente, a banda conta com novos integrantes, apenas com Daigoro e Giovanni, ambos guitarristas da banda, como os únicos desde a formação inicial. A banda é formada por, John no vocal, Giovanni na Guitarra, Daigoro também na Guitarra, Coci no Baixo e Carlinhos na Bateria. Estamos em fase de gravação de um EP com 4 músicas, com nome ainda indefinido. 
Mas já gravamos a primeira música do EP intitulada "Ferro e Fuligem".
