Liderados
por la energía y la voz hechizante de la seductora y carismática riot-girl Ciara Thompson, los Buttshakers están creando su propio
camino a base de cálido, húmedo y crudo
rhythm and blues con esencia de lo mejor
de la música soul que tanto aman. Rhythm & Blues ,dosis de garaje, y un gran sex-appeal hacen
que sus canciones sean como potentes golpes de calor , convirtiendo sus
espectáculos en una caliente y furibunda pista de baile.
The Buttshakers han
encabezado importantes festivales internacionales como Enclave De Agua, Festival Internacional de Blues de Bejar, Miaque…pero
es en las pequeñas distancias cuando este combo capitaneado por la cantante de
Saint-Louise te deja sin habla entre el 21 de septiembre y el 1 de octubre la
península va a botar con la intensidad de The
Buttshakers.

THE INTERVIEW
Your songs sound
like intensive and elegant R&B and Soul mixed with a bit of Jazz, Pop and
Rock. A great mix of styles that results on the fantastic sound of your music.
So, what really are your musical influences?
Our
influences are very very diverse. We’re 6 musician and everyone comes from a
different background… The main thing that got us together was the love for soul
music and back music in general.
So
at the end we7re making soul music and everyones’s influence can be found in
the music we do.
Next
year marks 5 years since The Buttshakers edited “Wicked Woman”. What is the difference between the music of The
Buttshakers today and your music 5 years ago?
First
of all I think our music changed because we’re better that 5 years ago. I don’t
mean better musicians but better at playing together.
I
think we kept that « wild » energy we’re known for but we also tend
to do more arranged songs.
You edited your
last LP titled "Night Shift"
in August 2016..Has it fulfilled this work with your expectations? Still, do
you expect more from this album?
This
L.P definitely fulfilled is work has it allowed us to tour a lot. We cherish it
but we are know thinking about the nexts albums of the Buttshakers.
What
do we will see and enjoy in your live concerts for next tour around Spain?
You will see a
very energetic show, with a lot of sweat! ahaha!
We’ll play songs
from « night shift » but also a bunch of new songs we’ve been working
on.
What
are your plans for this year 2017 and next 2018? We assume that you will
touring around clubs and festivals. Can you advance anything to us? Any
important event?
2017 has been a
very studious year, we’ve been working on new materials to put on a new record.
The music took a more produced way while keeping the raw sound that we love.
2018 will be the
start of a new tour and you will definitely see and hear new stuffs.
Do
you think the digital world will end with music as we know it today? What do
you think is the future of music?
I think the future
of music are the musicians… Is what we will do with music and how we make it
that will make the difference.
In anywise the
future past and present of music is LIVE MUSIC.
What
is your best memory about music?
We did a special
round of 2 shows with 22 kids between 10 and 20 years old.
We took this kid,
show them our way to do music and brought them to play in a festival behind a
5000 people crowd. It was magical to show them that the music has to be
performed on stage.
How
is a normal day in the life of The Buttshakers?
It’s a normal
day.. we get up, take care of our loved ones and go to work. excepted that our
work is music….
What
do you think about the current economic and social situation in Spain, Iceland, Europe and World in general?
This is a very
personal question so i can speak just for myself but I think the whole global
system is completely fucked up and that the gap between te superrich and poor
is bigger everyday. I think the whole world is serving a system that doesn’t
work and that we’re getting to the point where there won’t be a way back. On
the other hand, some of us (the band) are know parents and I guess that forces
you to be a bit more optimistic. Maybe education will be the key for a more
reasonable way of living. Who knows…
