After The Head and the Heart wrapped up at Royale we jumped on the Green Line to make our way over to Paradise for Rubblebucket. Since seeing them last at Brighton Music Hall in April the band still has the same uncontainable energy and killer dance moves that got them the reputation as the best live act in Boston back in 2009.
In a bit of a contrast from the THatH show that we had just come from, Rubblebucket entertained the crowd with extended jams and plenty of interaction with the crowd. Highlights from last night’s set included guitar player Ian Hersey’s face-melting solo on “Triangular Daisies” and trumpet player Alex Toth’s signature robot-esque dance moves on “Red Line Beat.” Playing a set that was heavy on their recent release Omega La La, the band inspired a constant flow of crowd surfers and even a few stage dives from the most daring of fans.
Toth was joined out on the Paradise floor by frontwoman Kalmia Traver and trombone player Adam Dotson during M&T fave “Came Out of a Lady” as they passed through the crowd horns in hand to bring the set to a close. After some minor technical difficulties the band came back for an encore that included the spacey stoner jam “Phillip’s Van” and the partially French “L’Homme.”
