Live from Paste: Rubblebucket

By Zachary Philyaw at 10:30 AM on December 21, 2012

Rubblebucket, whose latest EP Oversaturated was one of our best EPs of the year, recently dropped by the Paste office for a live set of their characteristically dancey tracks. The performance features the seven members playing seemingly-divergent parts that end up layering together effortlessly, giving this Brooklyn-based troupe a unique sound that sets them apart. The band isn’t finished playing shows for 2012 yet. You can still catch them on their New Years Eve run. Watch Rubblebucket’s performance live from Paste, and be sure to check their upcoming tour dates below the video....  read more

Rubblebucket: Oversaturated EP

By Alex Skidmore at 3:31 PM on September 11, 2012

An EP can be a little tricky. Is it filled with scraps that didn’t have a place on an album but still seemed worthy of the light of day?
