Drink Up Buttercup Announce Tour + Northside Festival

Drink Up Buttercup has gained a huge following over the last year or so, garnering praise from Stereogum, Daytrotter, RCRD LBL, and CMJ as well as The New York Times and Washington Post for their extrememly dynamic shows. A common thread throughout their live reviews is excitement and appreciation for the bands' ability to redefine the boundaries of a performance, rather than simply a musical showcase. Drink Up (as New York Times puts it), "bash out its bouncy, oompahing songs on a much-dented garbage can" and the Washington Post describes it as "brokedown hurdy-gurdy rock that is one Jack Daniels' shot away from total, irrevocable chaos."

After celebrating the April release of their 7" 'Farewell Captain/Sosey and Dosey' out on Kanine Records, the band is playing more shows, so if you haven't been able to catch this spectacle yet, fret not, you'll have some opportunities coming up in the very near future (dates below) which include NYC's Northside Festival.
