Butter is the secret to great music!
What's in a name? Because we couldn't help noticing how many of our favourite artists' names begin with the word butter! In case you think we're exaggerating, here are six fantastic buttery Australian artists for you.
BUTTERCATS
This Brisbane band combines elements of funk, R&B, and dance to create a sound they describe as ‘heavy disco.’ Think Parcels crossed with the Bee Gees and you've got some idea. The aim of their music is to remind us all that we are alive and born to dance!
BUTTER BATH
Sydney producer, musician, and singer-songwriter Toby Anagnostis delivers smooth psych-pop under the Butter Bath moniker, a project which began as a way for him to make music without having to wait for band members to be available. Be sure to check out the Mulberry Teeth EP.
BUTTERKNIFE
Hailing from Newcastle, Butterknife blends alt-pop and indie rock in the style of artists like Beabadoobee and Clairo. With raw, confessional lyrics, their sound ranges from the dreaminess of record player to the intensity of shitty way of showing you care.
BUTTERED
Buttered make silky smooth songs that are perfect for your late night playlist. The Gold Coast band, consisting of Scott Dalton, Jackson James Smith ‘and a whole lot of blonde hair,' has just released their latest album Tiny Deck.
BUTTERMELLO
‘In every song you can feel the sun on your face, and the bubbles of beer cruising down your throat.’ That's a pretty apt description of the endlessly sunny sounds of this Sunshine Coast band. With a ream of singles under their belt, they're set to release their first EP this year.
BUTTER
The simply named ‘Butter’ is in fact a 7-piece band from Fremantle, playing a blend of hip-hop and neo-soul featuring trumpet and sax. Sometimes sounding a bit like Gorillaz, and always sounding fresh, original and inventive.
