Hi everyone,

Our first time headlining the great NYC club Le Poisson Rouge tonight!
We're on at 7:45.

At 7, the great drummer Allison Miller is playing with her new group
that includes greats Jenny Scheinman, Jamie Saft, and Todd Sickafoose.

This is your chance to get our new CD! Our new t-shirts!
We'll be audio and videotaping this also, thanks to the New Spectrum
Foundation who's sponsoring the event.... so you'll be totally famous
just for showing up.

"Gutbucket has forcefully staked out its own musical territory, an
exciting land of power-chording rock guitar, squawking sax, and enough
time shifts to keep you happily off balance." - The New Yorker

"Violently blends free jazz with equally avant-garde doses of art and
math rock. It's a squealing, shrieking, head-banging and punk-
inflected free-for-all that manages to suss out moments of real melody
and beauty." - Alarm Press

Something Else Reviews called the record "math rock amped up a couple
of notches," and called us "the thinking man's punk rock band of
choice." It's a fun review: http://www.somethingelsereviews.com/2011/02/gutbucket-flock-2011.html

"For their latest album, and second for the imprint Cuneiform Records,
they are starting to exercise a little, dare we call it, maturity and
restraint. Granted, the sonic bluster that they've long exhibited is
still in effect (just listen for the squawking tones of Ken Thompson's
sax on "Dog Help Us" and the consistently fuzzed out blasts that Ty
Citerman wrenches out of his guitar), but it is tempered with quieter
stretches and a more humble approach that serves to invite rather than
challenge. Just listen to them ramble along placidly on "Zero Is Short
For Idiot" before the whole thing spirals into near chaos. Too, the
slow build of "Give Up" features a lovely intertwining of melodic
lines that get hazier as the song wears on. This new album also
features one of the band's finest compositions to date: "Murakami", a
track that finds the quartet painting in bold, dark strokes of color
with moments of glistening light (particularly the nimble playing of
drummer Adam Gold) that does the titular author proud." - Jazz Times
