Rubber O Cement are from California’s Bay Area and hold tires as the true inheritors of the Earth standing alongside other concept & prop topping acts like Hans Grusel’s Krankenkabinet, The Residents, Bran (Pos), Caroliner Rainbow Hernia Milk Queen, & Ghoul. Arising in late-90s, surreality is a key ingredient for Rubber O Cement, gaudy cardboard worlds enshrining performances of truly deranged synth and guitar sounds and frankly bizarre, costumed theatrics that may possibly only make sense when communicated via their own (yet to be designed) language. Robots, aliens and dinosaurs fall about the stage, creating music with a rhythm and trajectory all its own. Rubber O Cement are peerless and impossible to do justice to with words, but seeing them at TUSK is, love it or hate it, not going to be a spectacle you’ll be able to erase from your mind any time soon. – Tusk
