“Must-hear artist from the 2009 CMJs” – SPIN
A wild young band from Boston, Brooklyn, and Burlington, Vermont (i.e. Ver-brook-ston) that currently tours as an 8 piece. Their banging horn sounds and dance beats provide a backbone for the mesmerizing vocals of lead singer, Kalmia Traver. Rubblebucket’s trip-rock sound has been compared to Talking Heads, Bjork, Fela Kuti and Portishead but what’s in the bucket is completely their own.
Kalmia Traver and Alex Toth, formerly of the John Brown’s Body horn section, have been a musical team for over 5 years. In June of 2007 they joined forces with eclectic percussionist Craig Myers (of Mike Gordon Band) at a milk plant in Burlington where the chemistry was undeniable. Inspired by that night Toth set out to create a one-of-a-kind imaginative dance-rock band and Rubblebucket was born.
“Rubblebucket is one of the rare shows that still puts on an interactive performance, you can’t help but get up on to that dance floor, and well, dance. If you are interested in a change from the jam/indie scene or are in dire need for soul, funk or Afro-beat I highly recommend this show.” – DELI MAGAZINE
