Band in Seattle live television taping with Bread & Butter and Acapulco Lips

What's more Seattle than supporting your local businesses? Supporting your local musicians, that's what. So be a responsible Northwestern-er and get yourself down to Victory Studios for the taping of our next episode of Band in Seattle with artists Bread & Butter and Acapulco Lips on March 5, 2016. Each band will perform a 45-minute concert, followed by a filmed interview and music trivia webisode, sponsored in part by American Music. Front doors open at 6PM at Victory Studios, 2247 15th Avenue West (near the Interbay Golf Center) and the concert ends approximately at 10PM.

Bread & Butter:
Bread & Butter are a Seattle band obsessed with cramming their songs full of good fun, bad fun, and rad sounds.

The theme? Go team. Before releasing a song into the wild, the band has made sure that each guitar part fits in with each drum fill, which locks in with the bass groove, etcetera. And when it's all lined up to perfection, they add enough chaos to make it sound like a happy accident. All songs are recorded by the band in their underground facility.

The group consists of former members of the First Times, Wayfinders, The Vells, Broken Nobles and other killer, too-beautiful-to-survive bands.

Acapulco Lips:
Acapulco Lips. The name twists the tongue a bitwait, is it Apocolypse? The band did indeed emerge from a damp Seattle basement, but thats about the darkest visual of their origin story. Rather than a kiss with mortal doom and destruction, Acapulco Lips sound much more like a make-out session on a hot, salty beach, where summer is eternal and theres no notion of the fun stopping any time soon. If they happened to be anywhere close to the apocalypse itself, they would definitely celebrate by picking up their gear and rocking the last living daylights out of the final party in the history of civilization.

This trio is bound together by a studied adoration towards the loud, reckless, rebellious sonic traditions of psych, garage, soul, and surf rock. What comes out of these obsessions is the interpretation of the bands favorite Sixties sounds, from transporting guitar jangles, assertively revved up percussion, boogie-friendly bass breakdowns, topped with disarmingly charming coos and aahs.
