The Buttercream Gang is a local Bay area band from across the bridge. They are from Napa, the famous wine country that is apparently"musically desolate?"

The band's music is a blend of 60s rock n roll mixed with Afro-Pop and Tropicalia. The lyrics tend to be personal & eflective, while the music tends to be mostly peppy. Is it any surprise
then that this album is called "Polite Men."
