Psychedelic/Afro-beat/Rock
Rubblebucket is a ten-piece psychedelic afrobeat band led by trumpeter/composer Alex Toth and featuring vocalist/saxophonist Kalmia Traver (both members of the cutting edge nationally renowned reggae band John Brown's Body). Four piece horn section, alluring lead vocals, and a harp-like West African stringed instrument called an N'goni. Their vibe is like Portishead meets Fela Kuti meets James Brown: what comes out is something completely original.
Rubblebucket started as a jam session at the Hood Plant in Burlington, VT in June of 2007. Toth, inspired by the fire and flow of the session, set out to put together a big "rhythmic pretty-band."
