Butler Fight! was founded in 1998 by its frontman/singer, known to fans as Nigel Danger. Danger assembled a group of then-teenage musicians from his hometown of Manchester, England. Though Danger and his band - Joey "Jeeves" Hyatt, Mitchell Allen, and Celeste "Lizzie" Bennett - were ostensibly working-class youth, they quickly adopted an exaggeratedly posh accent, an ironic complement to their classic punk sound. Danger lists the Clash, the Sex Pistols, and the Buzzcocks among his musical heroes.
