What do I tell my children? The children!!!
Tell the children to stay home. This show is well worth it, trailer belly dancers complete with mini paper japanese lanterns included in the skirt of torn rags, swiggin booze, waxing trailer poetic and forgetting yer wife’s name (Lorena, Loretta even Lucinda) made it all hilarious.
Here’s the fresnobeehive.com review of Uncle Bucky:

Hot damn! Good and greasy, loud and sleazy,
trailer-trashy fun.
I was not impressed. The band was good (the musicians, not the singer). Otherwise, this one was a big disappointment for me.
I get what they seemed to be going for, but it was just a big disorganized mess.
“Huh?” That’s my response to this show. Maybe it was lost on me but I couldn’t help but wonder….”Is this an act? Are you sure it is an act?” I am happy to admit that maybe I’ve missed something, especially since I heard many people in the audience who sounded very amused by the whole thing. I do think the premise is amusing, and sharing KFC with the audience is just great, but the show itself could be more choreographed, or maybe tighter, but that too may run the risk of being counterintuitive to the show’s goals, I’m just not sure. Maybe that’s a great reason to go…figure it out for yourself! Be sure to drink, I think copious amounts of alcohol would definitely heighten this experience and the performers would probably appreciate your drunken participation.
Yes, it’s an act. Granted, most of us DO live in trailers, but we are not actually tattooed hot-tempered party people that decorate our homes with pink flamingos and empty Mickey’s bottles. The dancers are drinking water and tea out of alcohol bottles. No need to fear, acting is here.
You too can join in on the “Boycott” before every show by holding up a sign (provided by us) and mouthing off to your heart’s content. Just think “Spinal Tap”, “Walk Hard”, “The Life and Hard Times of Guy Terrifico”, or your favorite band spoof… gone TRAILER STYLE!
I’ve been ranting and raving about this face to face with folks, so I figure I might as well assault the internet with it as well.
Uncle Bucky’s is a performance in the grand theatrical style of Alice Cooper, KISS and ever my favorite and personal savior GWAR! Theres a premise, they’re trailer trash. Then there is a short play that ties in with the title of the upcoming song. Then they PLAY THAT SONG!
I have to admit that all this sank in when I saw the show for a second time, but in my defense, I was rather tipsy at the first show. But I can honestly say that I enjoyed the show even more the second time. It’s nice to be able to sing along with “I am a spiritual man, so much better than you!”. It’s a band (a real band) doing short plays during their set, rather than running a music video or any of that. It’s tongue in cheek comedy mixed with some talented musicians playing some tasty metal.
Go see it again with these perscription lenses on and I guarantee that you’ll enjoy the show.
The instrumental portion of the music was grungy, inspired and nightmarish (in a good way). When coupled with the creepy eastern-influenced dancing I was happily reminded of “Blue Velvet”. The lead guy singing is a entertaining guitarist who knows what he’s doing, but perhaps someone else in the band should try their hand at singing to mix things up…
Do we like Uncle Bucky? Heck no, he run over our pet possin! Yes, that’s ran and opossum for folks that didn’t get this was a show. Rogue-ish, creative, and rockin’. Really, I couldn’t stay in my seat. Lorleena’s belly dancing skirt was a colander and dish cloths. And the juggler was awesome! A don’t miss.
the best thing i can say about this show was the juggler was really good.
The show itself could have used more practice. (a LOT more practice)
Maybe it’s the sounds at the Starline, but I could not understand a word of what they are saying or singing.
i know it’s an act, but i loved the blue collar comedy tour and if it was trying to be that but with music, it failed miserably.
In the end, after 15 minutes of the show, (seeing the KFC song and the girl fight) I had to walk out and it took all the patience I had not to ask for my money back.
Don’t take me wrong, I support the Rogue show all the way but geeze, please, to whom this may concern, please, screen the shows that participate and at least give the people a heads up whether or not it’s worth my hard earned cash. especially in this time of recession.
This show is a rip-off, and I hope it doesn’t come back.
Virlie, that’s the ‘fun’ of the Rogue, trying new things.
I, too, didn’t really get into this show. The energy level of the performers is great, but it really seemed un-rehearsed. The juggling was the best part (well, the girls were really attractive), but it didn’t work for me at all.
Just kindof all over the place, and not much of it appealing to me. Yeah, I get the attempt at satire and frivolity, but Alice Cooper comparisons do not fit here for me at all.
Sorry I’m late to review this one, Virlie, but yah, save your money on this one.
