Rubblebucket’s seeds were sown when Kalmia Traver and Alex Toth, the group’s front persons, co-writers and co-producers, first began a friendship as jazz students at the University of Vermont. Soon after, they formed Rubblebucket, using the project to delve into pop, funk, dance and psychedelia; performances have spanned Bonnaroo to Glastonbury to their self-curated Dream Picnic Festival, and they’ve collaborated with kindred genre-blenders including Arcade Fire and Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears. Their forthcoming full-length LP ‘Year of the Banana’ is perhaps their deepest and grooviest work yet. It speaks to the power of transforming and adapting relationships in a time when the world needs it most.

CAPYAC is a surrealist dance band with as much Berlin/Detroit/French electronic influences as jazz, funk and the swirl of modern genres mixed in. Started in Austin, TX with a consortium of collaborators, they are now based between Los Angeles, CA and Berlin, Germany regularly featuring contributions from Reggie Watts, Cool Company and Annabelle Freedman or providing remixes for LA Priest, Midnight Generation, Magic City Hippies and many more. Covered by SPIN, FADER, Wonderland, This Song Is Sick, EARMILK, High Snobiety, KCRW, Magnetic Magazine and more, their music spans genres while appealing to purists and everyday listeners alike. Modern music declassifiers, CAPYAC are steadily releasing new singles as we watch them real-time stretch and explore the far reaches of (most simply put) “electronic dance music” but more aptly described as “good music to dance to.”
