RUBBLEBUCKET

Thursday | Who Stage | 10:15pm

Praise to Bonnaroo for elevating the Club Stage level at the fest this year’s fest. Rubblebucket wowed crowds during their last 2012 four-set Roo run, with outlets like Rolling Stone dubbing that, “Rubblebucket revved up like an indie-rock Miami Sound Machine, dancers, horns and all.” That’s no surprise to regular readers of No Country, where we have chronicled the rise of the Brooklyn based indie dance outfit, from around the time that RS was chronicling them up to their recent Communion run last month at Mercy Lounge. If you aren’t on board with this exciting rising outfit, head below to get in the know, and then catch them at the Who Stage on Thursday night to get your Roo started right.

BEAR’S DEN

Thursday | Who Stage | 9pm

British alt-folksters Bear’s Den are another Communion band playing the Thursday showcase. The group are touring in support of their 2014 debut, Islands, and it is fitting that they would hit Roo this year, given that they have spent some time on the road with headliners and part label founders, Mumford & Sons. It’s been a big year for Bear’s Den between Communion showcase tours, and an international headlining tour. Find out more about why everyone from CMT to Teen Vogue is calling this a rising act that you need to see.
