I love Rubblebucket's studio albums and had always been looking forward to a live show. Saw them at Paradise last night in Boston and wow, they absolutely blew away my expectations. Firstly, even the best bands sound mediocre at Paradise due to the lack of acoustics and cave-like setting (not to say I don't love Paradise). Secondly, the opener, Vacationers, were unbelievable. Finally, after a nice long opener set of around an hour and a half, Rubblebucket stormed on. These guys, and especially the lovely front woman know how to put on a show with dynamic, nonstop energy and mighty stage presence. Loved their interactions with the crowd as well with tons of crowdsurfing and marching through the throngs of people playing the horns. Highly recommend going to one of their shows...I will be back.
