“If Brooklyn and New Orleans had a love child it would be conceived while listening to Rubblebucket.”
A group of eight members hailing from Brooklyn, Burlington, Vt., and Boston, Rubblebucket credits influence from the Talking Heads, James Brown, and Bjork. Rubblebucket’s standout feature is its horn section, played by front man Alex Troth, (formerly of John Brown’s Body) and Kalmia Traver, the dynamic duo who also share lead vocals. Craig Myers (Mike Gordon Band) is in charge of Rubblebucket’s percussion, adding worldly beats to their eclectic rhythms. While tapping into funk and African influences, Rubblebucket sounds unconcerned with fitting into a genre, rather they play whatever the hell they want. Whatever it is, it’s groovy.
