Drink Up Buttercup: Possible Healthcare Spokesband?

Photo By Pegs: Thanks Pegs

To Recap:  Drink Up Buttercup was fan-fucking-tastic.  If you missed them on Saturday, you’ll have to catch them when they come back our way post-CMJ, though they’ll most certainly be filling a much larger venue than their Ronny’s gig last weekend.

It was stellar.  A loose, pop-inflected, bedraggled, harmonious cacophony of a show.  If there was ever a band that exemplified the need for universal health care, it’s D.U.B.. They’re erratic, they’re thrashing, they self-affectedly fall all over each other, they dispose of their instruments by dropping them on the floor, and the quartet (who all quit their jobs to tour) will almost certainly injure each other eventually. Obama!  We need a public option!

My pal Pegs took some swell photos.  One of which is above, a few more below.  You get the idea.
