RUBBLEBUCKET

"Must-hear artist from the 2009 CMJs" - SPIN.COM

Someone recently said "If Brooklyn and New Orleans had a musical love child it would be Rubblebucket." Rubblebucket is 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.

Rubblebucket was nominated for the 2009 Boston Music Awards "Live Act of the Year" and is featured in the December 2009 issue of Relix Magazine's "On The Verge: 5 Artists You Should Know." Additionally, they were 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).

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.

"A Bonnaroo-ready hybrid of world music influences as re-imagined by well-educated collegians." - SPIN

"The band delivered a raw, unfettered punch... The crowd was thrashing around - it was nearly impossible to stand still." - RELIX

"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." - SEVEN DAYS

"Rubblebucket 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." - STATE OF MIND
