Crushed Butler were a British proto-punk/hard rock band that existed between 1969 and 1971. According to 2008's Pretty Vacant: The History of British Punk, the band "were, in many ways, Britain's first proto-punk band."
Crushed Butler was formed in 1969 by Jesse Hector (guitar, vocals), Alan Butler (bass), and Darryl Read (drums). They performed cover versions of other bands' songs before recording their own material.
In early 1971 the band changed their name to Tiger and the line-up also changed to include Barry Mitchell, an official member of the early Queen line-up. After this, Neil Christian of The Crusaders managed them for a while as Tiger, with Arthur Anderson on bass, but this did not bring them success and they split a year later when Daryl Red (Darryl Read) began working as a composer for Track Records.
Hector and Butler continued under the name Helter-Skelter until they formed The Hammersmith Gorillas (later shortened to The Gorillas), while Red began a solo career as an actor. Red's work included 3 albums (Beat Existentialist (1991) and Freshly Dug (1999) with Ray Manzarek, Bleeding Paradise - the last one, in 2007). In 2000, he starred alongside Jamie Foreman and Zoot Money in the feature film Remember a Day, starring banned rock star Roger Bannerman. He currently plays rock concerts with his band Beat Existentialists in Europe and the USA. His later literary works include the biographical novel Stardom Road, and SET, a poetry series illustrated by George Underwood.
