Buttercup Presents Send More Yellow at the Empire Theatre

Buttercup presents Send More Yellow, a double album packed with dynamic new songs that reveal the full spectrum of the band’s creative fire.

Buttercup is a life-affirming art-rock band from San Antonio with hundreds of original songs to its name — music NPR calls “jangly art rock for the left side of the brain.” Since 2004, the band has released ten records and a documentary film, all while cultivating a fervent following through their singular live performances, which blur the lines between concert, visual art, and performance installation. As Glasstire puts it: “It’s an ever widening circle of love really: Sanden sparks something passionate in a stylishly casual way, Reyes and odie contribute a generosity of spirit (not even talking about their musical skills) that honestly makes the band a force for good in the world.”

This night at the Empire Theater will be a full-throttle rock-and-roll journey — from disco-driven dance grooves to aching, intimate ballads — revealing every facet of Buttercup, San Antonio’s best-kept secret. The band will feature Jason Garner (The Polyphonic Spree) on drums, bringing even more energy to an already electric evening.

Opening the show is John Buffalo, the wildly entertaining alter ego of John Dufilho (The Apples in Stereo, Deathray Davies, CLIFFFS) — a gifted musician and producer who also recorded Send More Yellow.
