New England's Rubblebucket put on an incendiary late show at Bear Creek Music And Art Festival last fall. I just can't stop listening to and watching this band.
These guys have the goofy sensibility of 80s New Wave bands like the Talking Heads or Squeeze, and they are galvanizing performers. Lead singer Kalmia Traver has that special performance-art magic, with jazz vocal training. You just can't take your eyes off her on stage as she alternates between complicated vocals, playing the sax, dancing wildly, and fiddling with sound effects. Her partner, band founder Alex Toth, goes into transcendant dances while also managing to blow some mean trumpet.
Rubblebucket heads into Florida for four dates this week and next: Feb. 10 at Jack Rabbit's in Jacksonville, Feb. 11 at Tampa's Crowbar, Feb, 12 at the Virginia Key Grassroots Music Festival, and Feb. 13 at Orlando's The Social. Below are two catchy Rubblebucket tunes for your enjoyment --first "She Came Out of a Lady" and also the catchy "Our Silly Fathers."
