History

Band members included Dave Gowans on vocals, guitar and banjo, Morgan McDonald on keyboards, Lasse Lutick on guitar and synthesizer, Torben Wilson on drums and Ida Nilsen on vocals, accordion, synthesizer and euphonium.

They were featured on CBC Radio 3's Sessions in June 2007.

In an interview on CBC Radio 3 on January 7, 2009, Dave Gowans announced that the band would be breaking up after completing their remaining touring commitments. The band members moved on to other projects: McDonald on his band Fond of Tigers, Nilsen on Great Aunt Ida and The Violet Archers, Wilson on Clean and Pristine the NOEX Castaway, and Gowans on Cloudsplitter. Today, Gowans and Lutick also own and operate Red Cat Records, a record store in Vancouver.

A poster for The Buttless Chaps appears in the background of "We'd like to Thank the Academy", an episode (Season 5, Ep. 13) of USA's hit comedy, Psych.
