The Buckets Reunion

Old-school Buckets (from L to R):
Long John Gonzales,Wanda Taters,
Jesse "Boots" Daniels, Earl Butter, Kid Coyote

I'd put The Buckets under 'Great Dead Bands' except that they haven't been completely dead - maybe comatose would be a better description. Every so often, leader 'Earl Butter' would emerge with a new lineup, and they'd play a show in the SF area.

In their heyday, they released one CD, several tapes and a couple of vinyl singles, and they played a lot of shows:

Emma June




The Curb




Bold Face Lie




Song of the True Divided Highway





There were rumors flying about that the summer of '08 might see some activity - well, the sleeper is getting ready to awake:

the Buckets Reunion/Alumni show....with all of your favorite Buckets past and present. And with just a little luck, we will have two cds....never released for you. the Great Auk, with Carrie, and Sister Exister with Dani round out the bill!

Those cds - one features songs from the older Buckets lineup and the other features brand new songs. Some cuts can be heard on their MySpace page, as well as more performance video.
