SOLD OUT: Lake Street Dive, Rubblebucket
$30 ($27.50 adv.).
press release: Lake Street Dive's Nonesuch Records debut album, Side Pony, produced by recent Grammy winner Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell), was released earlier this year. The Daily Beast says, "Their catchy melodies and appealing funk stylings are ready for prime time. I have a hunch that ...Side Pony, could take them to the next level," and Paste concurs, saying, "The unexpected chord provides a different kind of pleasure, one that's been hard to find lately. That's why Lake Street Dive is so important." The four band members--drummer Michael Calabrese, bassist Bridget Kearney, singer Rachael Price, and guitarist/trumpeter Michael "McDuck" Olson-recently celebrated the release with a performance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Side Pony takes its name from a song on the record that refers to a whimsical hairstyle, but it also serves as a metaphor for Lake Street Dive's philosophy and personality as a band. As Kearney puts it, "When we were settling on the album title, that one just stuck out to us as embodying the band's spirit. We've always been this somewhat uncategorizable, weird, outlying, genre-less band. That's the statement we wanted to make with this record: be yourself."
