About
"Three Chords And A Cloud Of Dust"
That is how Rhino Bucket singer/guitarist Georg Dolivo describes his band's brand of blue collar rock.
Signed to Warner Bros. in 1990, Rhino Bucket’s self-titled debut yielded two singles “One Night Stand” and “Blood on the Cross,” which heaved them to the Billboard Top 40 singles chart and made them regulars on MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball. Tours with the likes of The Black Crowes, Angel City,and Junkyard,ensued. Get Used to It, 1992’s follow up, was recorded by legendary producer Terry Manning (Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top) and spawned the single “Ride with Yourself,” which landed on the soundtrack to the blockbuster film Wayne’s World.
In 1993 AC/DC/Dio drummer Simon Wright, joined the band for the recording of the band’s third album, 1994’s Pain. This lineup toured relentlessly until 1995 when the band took what turned out to be an extended hiatus. Never ones to say die, a one-off sold-out reunion gig in 2000 inspired Georg and bassist Reeve Downes to reform the band with original drummer Liam Jason and ex KIX guitarist Brian "Damage" Forsythe.
"Rock ‘n’ roll is like a disease,” laughs Dolivo, “once you’ve got it you’re stuck with it. I’ve tried blues and country and all sorts of different styles, but I always come back to the rock. Maybe I’m just a one trick pony, but I really like the trick I know.”
The band hit the L.A. clubs and found their reputation had grown substantially. They stormed the scene, gained the attention of hip indie label Acetate Records, and started to buckle down to pen some new tunes. "We were asked to write some music for the movie Rolling Kansas,” recalls Forsythe of their first soundtrack endeavor together [more followed, including the flicks Stateside, The Outdoorsmen and TV’s The Handler], “and the more music we made together, it just felt right. Georg has an idea and starts playing some lick,someone will join in, an idea is born and we all jump in on it. It’s this chemistry thing.”
That chemistry is all over thier 2006 release, And Then It Got Ugly, from the explosive riffs, to the soulful vocals and heartfelt lyrics it is a much needed shot of no frills Rock n’ Roll that the music scene desperately craves. Needless to say, more touring with friends like The Supersuckers and KIX followed well into 2007 which also saw the return of drummer Wright at the Rocklahoma festival.
Currently the band is touring in support of thier latest releases, a remastered and expanded version of "Pain" and "No Song Left Behind" a collection of B sides and rarities. Rhino Bucket has also completed work on thier next album entitled "The Hardest Town" for an May 2009 drop.
Rhino Bucket has landed a song on the 3 time Golden Globe nominated film, "THE WRESTLER" and on the soundtrack, which can be purchased at iTunes.com.
