Scarlet Begonias - Dangermuffin
06.06.08 - The Pour House, Charleston, SC
Just like in all of your towns across the nation, we have our little Thursday night post work happy hour thingy here in Columbia. After a stellar dinner celebration at Blue Cactus (Korean Mexican joint), we went down the block for the festivities and weekly tension breaker. This week’s band was Dangermuffin, out of Folly Beach, SC (Charleston). As would be expected, they’re like a lot of beach bands, only about 40 times more inventive. They lay down a lot of Marley and Sublime feeling stuff (and great originals), and it’s clear that they have been playing together for a long time. They’re a tight unit. Check them out in Relix mag. this month - they are on the insert disc, and a band you should know about.
They also play Scarlet like no other cover of it I’ve ever heard. Check out their Pink Floyd “Breathe”, too. It’s hot.
Lunch With Stephen King - Josh Roberts and The Hinges
06.20.08 - Music Farm, Charleston, SC
I have just one thing to say about the Josh Roberts show I went to this past Saturday night. Josh absolutely dominates the telecaster. It is a part of his body.
The Hinges are blowing up all over the Southeast, and filling music halls and clubs everywhere. Columbians (SC, that is) have known about Josh for years, and his former band Captain Easy. The Hinges are cut from a totally different cloth. They are raw and in your face. It is what rock and roll is all about.
SOL DRIVEN TRAIN - SHOWCASE VIDEO I have to say that when I heard these guys were on the lineup with Outformation for their ‘08-‘09 NYE shows, I wasn’t really that jacked. You see, I like my rock dirty and southern. Yeah, I’m a little biased. From the look of this band of misfits taking the stage I thought I was in more for a circus act, then the tight knit, precise, entertaining and fun performance that I was about to experience. It’s a pretty cool style that they’ve concocted in their musical kitchen. Sometimes you get a little taste of dank Georgia swamp funk, sometimes world beat ala Paul Simon Rhythm of the Saints, a dash of stick - in - your - brain hooks, and even a pinch of children’s nursery rhymes. I urge you to get out and see them. I’m sure they’re playing somewhere near you. By the way, bring your dancing shoes. You’re gonna need ‘em.

The Butter Room was built to spread and discuss live music. The contributors of this site all volunteer their time to provide the content. We do this as a labor of love. Our name, The Butter Room, references an small, low-lit room in a Virginia Tech Fraternity with nothing but a few benches and tables. You go there to get away from all distractions and have a conversation, which is what we want to foster here: a place where you can get away from all the distractions of life to enjoy and discuss live music.
