On 19 February 2011, Butler performed for the first time with his wife Danielle, also known as Mama Kin, under the moniker Brave and the Bird, at the Gimme Shelter event (an annual fundraiser for the homeless) held at the Fremantle Arts Centre [REF].
Butler explained in an interview during the band's US tour: But a lot of these songs on this album I kind of magpied.
