The Butcher Bros. is an American music production team made up of brothers Phil and Joe Nicolo, originally based out of Philadelphia in the mid-to-late '80s.
Joe completed mixes of Billy Joel's "The River of Dreams", 3 Cypress Hill albums, Schoolly D, Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince, the Rolling Stones' "Love Is Strong", Aerosmith's "Falling In Love" and James Taylor's "A Little More Time" and Phil co-produced and mixed Sting's "When We Dance", John Lennon's "Do The Oz", Bob Dylan's "Tell Old Bill", Dishwalla's "Counting Blue Cars, and "Under Pressure" with British rockers Keane.
To accommodate a busy production schedule, the brothers renovated a warehouse in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, and converted it into studios, digital editing rooms and offices.
Joe joined forces with Merv Griffin and RKO Pictures as Executive Producer of the film Shade - a movie that can be best described as being a cross between The Sting and Pulp Fiction.
Joe is also producing several new movie releases: Return to Sleepaway Camp, Southern Gothic and Tooth and Nail-both directed by Mark Young, and One Part Sugar starring Danny DeVito, Justin Long, and Dylan Walsh.
