WIN BUTLER
Age: 26
Plays: guitar, bass, keys, sings
Attended: Phillips Exeter Academy, studied photography and creative writing at Sarah Lawrence, graduated from McGill University where he studied philosophy
Did You Know? Win calls George Orwell and Doestoevsky his favorite writers, wanted to be a filmmaker when he was in high school, is super passionate about basketball, and thinks he overuses the phrase "split the difference"
Win Speaks: When we asked Win -- a notoriously reserved anti-showman off stage -- to name the most rock star-ish thing about himself, he told us he relates to Mariah Carey. "Especially when you live in hotels, it's like this is my home, and I wouldn't necessarily choose for all these fucking hotels as my home but if I'm making my coffee at home I can have it the temperature I want...It's very easy to see how Mariah Carrey ends up in this bubble where she's in the wrong place and destroying her hotel room."
