The Buttshakers returns to the Benelux with a powerful new 45"

31-05-2024

After their critically acclaimed LP “ArcadiaThe Buttshakers return with a powerful new 45” in celebration of Record Store Day. A two-sided slab of heavy hitting soul grooves. A side "Cold World", with it’s darker, Stax-influenced horn hook, drives the listener on with an infectious groove and heart-wrenching vocals. The riff is heavy, but the message remains hopeful: stay golden in a cold, isolating world. A post-covid soul anthem.

On the b-side, The Buttshakers sink into the bluesy-country roots of soul music with "Crossroad". The intimate guitar-voice of the intro gives way to a feverish drum and bass rhythm sent straight from the bayou. The song galops and races, taking the listener on a strange and dreary trip to meet the Devil at the crossroad. A story of legends; reimagined with some twang and a whole lotta soul.

This weekend The Buttshakers play two shows in the Benelux:

01/06: Dedemsvaart, NL - De Gashouder
02/06: Oud-Turnhout, BE - Goezot in 't Hofke
