We have not been able to get enough of Drink Up Buttercup ever since we were presented with their new LP, Born and Thrown on a Hook a few weeks back. These guys are just so much fun to listen to and while we haven’t had the pleasure of seeing them live we have heard great things about their live show. This Sunday, May 9th everything will change, as the band will be making a stop at Montreal’s Green Room on their current North American tour. We had a chance to catch up with bassist Ben Mazzochetti, who let us into the life of Drink Up Buttercup.

The Youjsh EP Launch – Green Room – Saturday, April 24, 2010
I arrived a little bit too early for The Youjsh’s EP launch Saturday night; a show that also featured Montreal’s Tiny Dictators in the opening spot, but it was definitely worth the hour-long wait. Equally strong performances by both bands made this event worthy of an encore performance in itself.
