Music Discovery of the Day: Loose Buttons - I Saw Jon Hamm At The Beach

Loose Buttons are a four-piece of lifelong New Yorkers, praised for their “ultra-catchy downtown rock n' roll" by Stereogum and “sun-dappled garage sound" by The Fader. Their first release of 2024 - "I Saw Jon Hamm At The Beach" - is, in fact, the true story of seeing Don Draper in swim trunks during the summer; but simultaneously it uses the experience to explore the pitfalls and illusions of chasing "perfection." Recent hometown shows include a sold-out 1,500-capacity Webster Hall and multiple headlining nights at Baby's All Right - as well as selling out recent stops in each of Boston, Philly, DC and Los Angeles. Fronted by Eric Nizgretsky - a first-generation Ukrainian-American with Kyiv roots - the band have spent much of the past year organizing a series of benefit shows to help those wounded and displaced in the country.
