This will be the jazz your parents warn you NOT to play or see... (musicdish.com)
gutbucket leads New York's newest generation of genre-destroyers. Re-writing the rules and wreaking joyful havoc, they create an unorthodox music beyond category. They released their debut full-length CD „InsomniacsDream“ on Knitting Factory Records November 13, 2001. gutbucket is fearlessly devoted to unique, pushy melodies, high-energy rhythms and improvisational adventures. Their vast repertoire courses through playful circular movement, elastic time twists and rapid-fire banter. They contrast sweet Latin rhythms with punk rock ferocity in „Don't Fall on Dirty Mary“, flowing melodies with angular shape-shifting in „Being Questioned about Iran Contra While Eating French Onion Soup“, and hypnotic loops with screaming antics in their platinum hit „Rock 'n Roll“. Their music is an impolite round table discussion of jazz/punk/funk/rock/20th century classical/Afro-Cuban/polka/free-blowing mayhem. And to really understand what this band is all about, you've got to catch them live. They’ve slam danced upside-down, performed glow-in-the-dark, posed as the Muppet Band, showered their audience with toast, slap-boxed with string quartets, and re-scored their favorite cartoon movies with a side order of pizza.
