Videos: Drink Up Buttercup and The Lisps at The Bell House
I’m pretty sure that Drink Up Buttercup is pretty much everyone’s idea of a great live show. The songs were good too, but it didn’t matter much what they were playing as long as they were playing, though I was an instant fan of James Harvey, one of the three singers–this one providing operatic voices every now and then. I couldn’t even sit still while capturing the footage from my camera. The Lisps played after them, and it was a blast seeing them in a regular show, outside of their musical; without the need to stay in character, they seemed much more free to move to their own music, and this was more apparent in singer Sammy Tunis, who was strikingly dressed in a black dress paired with red stockings and red boots. It was great to hear a few tunes off their musical, The Futurity–that song about mathematics is pretty sweet. You’ll notice in the video that drummer Eric Farber even moves like a robot to create that mechanical beat. Go see for yourself–videos of both bands are after the jump, and there’s more coming next week.
