SO HOW DID THE COLLABORATION COME ABOUT?
Band member Amiel Gopal explains, “We’ve always had saxophone as part of the Rubber Duc “sound” foundation. When we were working on Coming Down, we had these great brass hooks that we had been working on & just thought it would be really cool to get a real trumpeter in to play the lines. We’ve played a few shows with Mi Casa over the years and had formed a relationship with the guys.
That’s when we thought that Mo-T would be the perfect guy for the role! So we got in touch with him and the rest is history,”. “Coming Down” is still deeply rooted in the unique sound of Rubber Duc but the collaboration with Mo-T brings the perfect amount of brass flavour with catchy melodies that are guaranteed to be stuck in your head. “We had so much fun working on this project with Mo.
He’s flipping talented and it was a new experience for us recording a trumpeter. So many ideas were thrown around the room, but when that man played his solo…wow. It was gold.,” Amiel continues.
2019 – THE YEAR OF SUCCESS FOR RUBBER DUC!
There is no escaping Rubber Duc! They find themselves on every line-up of your favourite festivals and are playlisted on radio stations across the country that there is no doubt that you will always find yourself listening to them. When asked what makes them so unique in the South African market, the band definitely credits their sound – “I just don’t think anyone sounds like us.
We don’t even know what we sound like or where to place our sound. Our songs don’t ever sound anything close to similar, but for some reason, it just sounds like Rubber Duc?” Their unique sound has come to be one that is instantly recognizable and has played a huge part in their continued success. “2019 has been an incredible year for Rubber Duc. There has been so much positive change, chart-toppers, experimentation, growth etc. It’s really been a good year. If 2019 was like this, we cannot wait to go into the new decade!”
