I finally got a chance to see Gutbucket. All I knew was that they play Zebulon sometimes, which is good enough to check out if they are at The Stone. They started strong and energetic. I immediately put it in the avant-rock category. The sax was especially energetic, jumping around a lot and moving big constantly. The guitar was pretty energetic as well.
I enjoyed it a lot at first. I started getting tired of it later, due to the short songs and it all seemed very similar to me. I think it’s just a matter of personal preference as well as the venue. It would be nice to see what they are like another time at a larger space. I was starting to not like the energy of the sax jumping around so much. I was surprised it bothered me.
I did especially like the bass. I also enjoyed the first ½ hour before I started changing my view. Toward the end, there was a bass solo that I really liked. They are all talented musicians.
They did have a lot of people for a late Tues set. Most of them already knew their stuff and really like them. Looking at their bio, it looks like they would appeal to many fans of good music.
