Drink Up Buttercup: Live Video from Cameo Lounge, Brooklyn 5-8-09

DOWNLOAD: Drink Up Buttercup - Daytrotter Session (Click-through to download the individual songs)

While Drink Up Buttercup can harmonize like The Beatles (and there is a bit of Beatles-style "Oompah" in Buttercup's music), the band's live show is closer to an Akron/Family or Animal Collective style sing-along. The music borders on the shambolic as tempos and song structures change (often mid-song) but the music never crosses over the edge into chaos.



Drink Up Buttercup are back in NYC next month for a few shows:
June 12, 2009, 8:00PM, Kanine/Frenchkiss Showcase @ Bruar Falls, Brooklyn
June 13, 2009, 8:00PM, Hooves on the Turf Showcase @ Trophy Bar
June 17, 2009, 7:00PM, Santos Party House w/ Clues (18+), New York
