Gutbucket: Sludge Test

Read "Sludge Test" reviewed by John Kelman


Ken Thomson, who manages the contemporary classical-focused Cantaloupe Music label, lives a double life playing saxophone for Gutbucket, a quartet whose influences primarily come from jazz and rock. That might seem oddly out of place, but Cantaloupe's output has been surprisingly diverse. Recent releases range from Alarm Will Sound's refreshing reinterpretation of Aphex Twin on Acoustica ...

Gutbucket: Sludge Test

Read "Sludge Test" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Gutbucket might be the possessed grandchildren of bandleader Spike Jones, except that in the three CDs they have produced, I've yet to hear a gunshot. This modernized version of the blender band has been done before by groups such as Naked City, Blood Duster, and Mr. Bungle, but not nearly as well. Like Spike Jones, this ...

Gutbucket Barnsdall Gallery Theater Los Angeles, CA April 18, 2005 Someone recently hipped me to Joel Dorn's comment that “You haven't heard Monk until you've seen him. I must admit that I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to the sound / vision distinction. Although I love live ...

Gutbucket: Dry Humping the American Dream

Read "Dry Humping the American Dream" reviewed by John Kelman


With a name like Gutbucket and an album title like Dry Humping the American Dream , one might expect a certain amount of irreverence--and one would be right. Gutbucket is nothing if not counter-culture, but for all their anarchist leanings they are actually a group of talented players who have chosen to combine rapidly-changing movement form ...

Gutbucket: Dry Humping the American Dream

Read "Dry Humping the American Dream" reviewed by James Lamperetta


The title of Gutbucket’s second album, Dry Humping the American Dream, may well be as much a musical statement as it could be construed to be a political one, and any ambiguity regarding this interpretation would seem to be entirely what this multi-faceted, muscular, mayhem-loving quartet would hope for. At times exuding a ...

Gutbucket: Insomniacs Dream

Read "Insomniacs Dream" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Noted for their vivacious stage shenanigans, this New York City-based jazz/rock/punk quartet also packs a lot of muscle into its repertoire. In fact, notions of the proverbial high school bullies picking on their reticent classmates come to mind. With its freshman release, the instrumentalists’ uncompromising approach to music in general comes to fruition here via a ...

Gutbucket: InsomniacsDream

Read "InsomniacsDream" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Seething at its borders, improvisation eagerly embraces stray forms of music. The New York avant quartet Gutbucket know this fact, and they use it to great advantage on InsomniacsDream. Funk, noise, free improv, swinging jazz, and pounding rock all flow into this record. The common theme that ties the disc together is open-ended improvisation. Gutbucket's postmodern ...
