Bucketrider have become famous for their mercenary approach to the many shibboleths art music holds sacred. Straddling the serious and the popular as if no intellectual distance separated them, they are as comfortable playing classic, free jazz as they are with the most rarefied serialism or the most intense grind; and as adept with noise as they are with the most compelling sonority. Championing punk aesthetics as the primary informant for vanguardism in postmodern music, Bucketrider consider no musical reference too sacred or profane. In one of their performances you are just as likely to encounter reference to Conlon Nancarrow as you are to Aphex Twin or Sun Ra, and more likely than not those musical signifiers will coexist as one complex, dirty, hyper-rhythmic monster.
