The Buttertones are a Los Angeles-based cult rock band. The group has built a loyal fan base via their atmospheric live shows and cinematic catalog. From 2017’s Gravedigging, 2018’s Midnight In A Moonless Dream, 2020’s Jazzhound, and 2024’s Face to Face With Fantasy, the band has left lasting impressions at Coachella, Tropicalia, When We Were Young, and beyond. The group consists of members Richard Araiza (vocals/guitar), Modesto Cobian (lead guitar), Mimi Nissan (keys/guitar/bg vocals), Karly Low (bass/bg vocals), Carlos Sanchez (tenor sax), and Brandon Galindo (drums/bg vocals)
L.A. Witch have always exuded an aura of effortless cool, whether it manifested as the Americana noir and laconic back-to-basics rock n’ roll of their self-titled debut or the blistering austere adventurism of their sophomore album Play With Fire. The band—comprised of Sade Sanchez (guitar/vocals), Irita Pai (bass), and Ellie English (drums)—began as an informal affair, but the sultry and beguiling reverb-draped songs they created caught on with the public, moving the project beyond the insular space of the band’s friends and peers in Southern California into the broader world. On their latest album, DOGGOD, the trio push their craft beyond their previous creative and geographical confines, opting to craft the material in Paris, recording the tracks at Motorbass Studio on the Rue de Martyrs. DOGGOD explores broader swaths of sonic terrain, employs a greater arsenal of tones, and probes larger existential and cosmic themes, all while retaining the band’s signature sense of the forbidden, the forsaken, and the foreboding.
