--------RubRubRubRubRub-------
Rubblebucket is a nine-piece polyrhythmic dance/rock band led by trumpeter Alex Toth and the alluring vocals of Kalmia Traver. Comparisons have been drawn to Talking Heads, Fela Kuti, Bjork and James Brown, but Rubblebucket's afro-beat inspired, trip-rock soul experience is beyond classification. In addition to winning Relix Magazine's Jam-Off competition in July 2008, Rubblebucket was recently named "Best New Band of 2008," by Seven Days Vermont. The title had previously been held by GRACE POTTER & THE NOCTURNALS (2005, 2006) and PHISH (2003, 2004).


One of the most exciting groups to come out of Boston in recent memory...a genre-mashing maelstrom of hot-blooded West African funk rhythms and scorching soul melodies unlike anything that’s come before it.
- Dan Bolles, Seven Days.

Rubblebucket Orchestra is not your Mamma’s foot-tapping funk band. These guys are a flat-out “move everything” kind of groove.
- Ryan’s Smashing Life

Their youthful exuberance is matched with skill, and they remind you, or inform you, that it’s all right to let your guard down and leave your snarky baggage at the door. Listening to Rubblebucket is a moment in time when you feel like everything is going to work out. You feel that spirit.
- Mike McKinley, State of Mind
