Buttercup is a life-affirming art-rock band from Texas that has written hundreds of original songs that NPR calls “jangly art rock for the left side of the brain.”  Since 2004, the band has released 10 records and a DVD documentary. Their unique live show incoporates visual art, performance art and installation. Says Glass Tire: "It’s an ever widening circle of love really: Sanden (lead singer) sparks something passionate in a stylishly casual way, Reyes (guitar) and odie (bass) contribute a generosity of spirit (not even talking about their musical skills) that honestly makes the band a force for good in the world."
