Summary: <p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.176em; padding: 0px 15px; border: 0px; font-family: 'Gotham SSm', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.706; vertical-align: baseline; float: left; width: 521.515625px; color: #8b9094; clear: both; background-color: #16191e;">Before Rubblebucket played its Tiny Desk Concert, its members asked if they could bring a confetti cannon. And, though I said no — dear coworkers, I really do care about you — the band still brought a fun mix of brass and brash to the Tiny Desk.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.176em; padding: 0px 15px; border: 0px; font-family: 'Gotham SSm', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.706; vertical-align: baseline; float: left; width: 521.515625px; color: #8b9094; clear: both; background-color: #16191e;">At the front of this band is Kalmia Traver and Alex Toth; she sings clever words, straps a tambourine to her foot and plays the flute, while he plays trumpet, flute and more. I really like this band and its attitude — party-friendly but with a serious side, perhaps informed by Traver's recent battle with cancer — which comes through nicely on Rubblebucket's new album, <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Survival Sounds. </em>So set aside a few minutes to take this little carousel ride, courtesy of a band like few others.</p>
