RHINO BUCKET Needs Your Help In 'Raising Dough' To Finish Album

January 8, 2009

RHINO BUCKET — the Bon Scott-era AC/DC sound-alike band that recorded two albums for Warner Bros./EMI back in '90 and '92 and an independent album in '94 with former AC/DC drummer Simon Wright — started recording a new CD last April for what was to be a fall release. Well, fall fell and Christmas came and went and no BUCKET under the tree this year. So where's the record?

To make a long story short, after laying down 95 percent of the tracks, the hard drive went missing, leaving both Acetate Records and the BUCKET with a depleted recording budget and no record. According to the band, "Our label was relentless in their efforts to recover the recordings — that's the good news. Bad news is they ain't quite done yet, we still need some additional recording and mixing. See where we're heading?? Yup, you guessed it. We're broke and we're turning to you, The Bucketheads, The Bucket Brigade, Rhino Nation, to help us raise some dough and finish this bitch.

"We're asking that the most dedicated BUCKET fans purchase the new album in advance, which is what we like to do anyway, but this is a little earlier than usual. This will give us the funds to book the studio time needed to complete the project and believe us, you want us to finish this record! What's in it for you? Well, besides hookin' the boys up and being the first ones to get the spankin' new disc, we have written a song about our latest 'experience' and only those of you who pre-purchase will receive a special edition of the tentatively titled 'Hardest Town' containing this exclusive track.

"As is stands now, we're looking at a May 5 release, but that depends on you! Either way we'll ship out these special pre-sale CDs well in advance."

"So, dig deep boys and girls and let's keep the new rock rolling!"
