Lemon Bucket Orkestra are Toronto's original guerrilla-folk-party-punks. The award-winning crew has been called frenetic, charismatic, and gloriously anarchic by the New York Times, The Guardian, the Winnipeg Free Press and media across the globe and over the past 15 years have performed all over the world from WOMAD in England and New Zealand and Pohoda in Slovakia, Festival D’Été in Québec City to New Orleans Jazz Fest in Louisiana.
Equal parts exhilarating precision and reckless abandon, LBO is a truly immersive experience mixing sweat and tears with audience chorales and howling at the moon. You can hear that journey on their latest album Cuckoo. It’s signature LBO: powerful Ukrainian polyphony and driving Balkan rhythms filtered through hip-hop, punk and jazz and a whole range of global influences and purpose accrued from their eclectic global journeys and polycultural home of Toronto.
