Lemon Bucket Orkestra are Toronto's original Slavic-Balkan-Klezmer-Party-Punks. The multi-award-winning ensemble has been heralded as a groundbreaking, genre-bending phenomenon by media and fans alike, and over the past 13 years they have performed all over the world from WOMAD in England and New Zealand and Pohoda in Slovakia, to Festival D’Été in Québec City, and Luminato in Toronto. The Guardian proclaimed that their performances are "gorgeously sung and passionately played" and The New York Times declared them "charismatic...handsome and ambitious.”
Equal parts exhilarating precision and reckless abandon, LBO’s live shows are a truly immersive experience ranging from the ecstatic to the cathartic and all points in between. Now they weaved that unique blend of energy and emotion onto their latest album Cuckoo. Released May 17 2024, the new record combines powerful Ukrainian polyphony, driving Balkan rhythms, and modern Western musical elements. This mixture of Eastern Europe and the America's is further elevated with the special feature of Macedonian master trumpeter Nizo Alimov, formerly of Kocani Orkestar.
The band will be busy touring US festivals and PACs in the Summer of 2024 touting their powerful new album along with Canadian dates in Ontario out to the East Coast which stretch to the end of the year. Along with the worldwide release of the new album, LBO will also be premiering a new video for their title track, Cuckoo. Filmed on Toronto’s iconic Ward's Island, it captures the band in their natural element - taking the viewer through a boisterous, bright, and impassioned journey from a party at the beach to the Balkans. Get on your feet and immerse yourself in this sonic juggernaut if you can. To quote the Winnipeg Free Press, the experience will be: "Amazing, frenetic, gloriously anarchic and ultimately joyous!”
