Bottle Up and Go Showcasing

(Submitted News) Bottle Up and Go are gearing up to trigger more drooling, awestruck jaws with their upcoming high-energy CMJ showcases, which include their 10/22 show at Webster Hall's The Studio with Suckers, Gordon Voidwell, and Tony Castles as well as their 10/23 show at Glasslands with Pattern is Movement, Francis and The Lights, and Let's Wrestle.
BU&G started off as a Leadbelly cover band during their formative years at Wesleyan University. As soon as word got around about these sonic roustabouts, house parties around campus started filling up and their shows became known as a rendez-vous for unruly pandemonium. The band began receiving requests for original material and soon BU&G's entire set was made up of their own styling of junkyard garage rock and bluesy slide-guitar grooves. Despite their youthful appeal and recent graduation from school, BU&G have already accomplished sharing the stage with indie heavyweights such as Crystal Antlers, Deer Tick, O'Death and Man Man.
Darker is better. Louder is better. At least that's the case with BU&G's newest song "Until The Day I Die", from their upcoming full-length debut album, set for a winter release. With it's more robust offering of barbaric and stripped rawness, BU&G's equally manage to blend in dollops of pop sensibilities that could quite possibly make them the breakout indie act of 2010. The new songs will mark a small death between their last These Bones EP ("All my Trials" included in Download Page above) and the refreshed roar of their upcoming full-length debut. The theme of "death" interweaves throughout the band's freak out blues punk and serves as a catapulting platform for half-belted and half-sung lyrics of haunting iconography, murder ballads, morning tremors and jail time.
The band will also be heading to Vermont to shoot a music video with Chris Edley – director of Saul Williams' "Convict Colony" and production designer for MGMT's "Time To Pretend".
Powered by the same grit and relentless showmanship characteristic of Monotonix, White Stripes or Cage The Elephant, Bottle Up and Go's upcoming NYC shows are sure to leave your mouths agape and sweat glands pumping thanks to their brandishing of gutteral, live bravado and reckless finesse.
