Spotted in Berkeley: Sour Mash Hug Band

That instrument she's playing is called a Washtub Bass, which is literally just a bucket, a pole and some rope. AMAZING!!!!

I saw these guys playing at the Farmer's Market earlier today, and they are AWESOME. I didn't have enough money to buy a CD but I found them all over YouTube. I guess you have to like this kind of music, which I fortunately do, but even so... they are amazingly talented. I've always wanted to be in a band that plays on street corners and Farmer's Markets or inside BART stations. How awesome would that be?


Here something I found on YouTube:

I love to go to stuff like this and listen to bands like that... we are the same person. With the possible exception of the fact that I also go to the Highland games and listen to Celtic rock and bagpipes. (Please see "men in kilts" in my FB photo album).

When I was a kid, we knew a guy who played a bass like that, but he called it a gut bucket...like maybe animal guts were in the washtub before it became an instrument?

These guys (and gal) are great! It'd be cool if they had a second wash tub for tips rather than the suitcase.
