Drink Up Buttercup

"As soon as this Philly band started setting up their equipment, it was evident that it was going to be a spectacle. They brought their percussive instruments in a metal garbage can, which they then pummeled with their stomping, flailing psychedelic tunes. They have a great melodic sensibility, but they’re also in love with the glory of cacophony and audience interaction." Boston Metro http://www.myspace.com/drinkupbuttercupband
Deli Magazine’s number one band in its 2008 “Best of Philly Awards.” http://thedelimagazine.com/philadelphia/bestofs/2008.php
Locksley

The Wisconsin bred, Brooklyn based quartet’s energetic, fun shows and infectious tunes have made them one of the more successful indie bands of the last several years selling 50k records on their own and making them a household name in Japan! The band recently toured and backed Ray Davies of The Kinks. Locksley has been featured as MTVs “band of the week” (http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2008/09/08/artist-of-the-week-locksley,), in SPIN as a “breakout band” and in Rolling Stone as a top 25 myspace band. Their single “Why Can't I Be You? (Why Not Me?)” is the theme song for the MTV show of the same name and received extensive play on MTVu.
