The sonic donut sprinkles of "Bupkis", by Miami's Mustard Service, saturated in a sort of 60's pure pop wash stirring under the contemporary jazz dipped lounge indie pop embraces are beautiful. From the band's recently released third studio album "Variety Pack", the bright doo wops, rapturous electric guitar lines, polished pop keys, absolutely hook filled drums / bass dance are offset by somber bedroom pop vocals, forlorn and supportive. The lyrics tell the story of love on the outs.
"Bupkis is basically about letting someone go. It can be hard to let someone you love go but it’s even more unfair to keep them hanging on to a hopeful pipe dream." - Mustard Service
AND the sheer tear stained lyrics are beautiful, a remembrance of helping a friend self sabotaging:
"Don’t you touch that phone, man
Just leave her alone tonight
Out here waiting
On this märchen reminisce"
Just leave her alone tonight
Out here waiting
On this märchen reminisce"
-Robb Donker Curtius

It all began with an ambitious college dropout who had just returned from a year-long stint in Germany. He scribbled the opening line "I'm going down" for a soon-to-be viral hit called "Taking up Space” in the comfort of his Floridian backyard — and that, mis amigos, is how Mustard Service was born.
Sons of Latino immigrants, the five-piece kick-started in 2015 and is held down by Marco Rivero (lead vocals, guitar), Gabriel “Nuchi” Marinuchi (guitar), Augusto “Tuto” Di Catarina (bass, vocals), Leo “Big Guy” Cattani (keys), and Adam Rhodes (drums). Self-identified as “zest pop,” the band’s eclectic mix of indie rock, surf, funk, jazz and bossa nova has made them the perfect representation of Miami alternative.
A Mustard Service show isn’t without its share of chaos, but the warm family energy that permeates through this collective of friends and onto the stage has amassed them a passionate fan base looking to leave their worries at the door. Transitioning from sweaty overpacked house shows in Miami-Dade County to selling out shows nationally, Mustard Service has made appearances at numerous festival circuits such as iiiPoints and Okeechobee.
