Rhino Bucket is a hard rock band from Van Nuys, California.

The band was formed in 1988 by Georg Dolivo (guitar and lead vocals), Greg Fields (guitar), Reeve Downes (bass) and Rick Kubach (drums). This lineup played the Los Angeles rock scene for a year with contemporaries such as Junkyard, The Four Horsemen, The Sea Hags and countless others. Warner Brothers signed the band in 1989 and they released their self-titled debut in 1990 with Liam Jason (Warrior) on drums.

Their second album, 1992's Get Used To It, was recorded in Memphis with producer Terry Manning (Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, George Thorogood). The album contained "Ride With Yourself" which was featured in the hit movie "Wayne's World". In 1993 drummer Simon Wright (AC/DC, Dio) joined the band and appeared on the 1994 album PAIN. The band continued extensive touring, but by 1995 the rigors of the road had burnt the band out and they went on what turned out to be an extended hiatus.

Rhino Bucket reformed in 2001 with Brian "Damage" Forsythe from KIX taking on lead guitar duties from Fields (aka Fidelman) who had gone on to a successful producing and engineering career (Marilyn Manson, Metallica). The new lineup worked on a few movie soundtracks including the pot cult film "Rolling Kansas" and the title song for the movie "The Outdoorsmen - Blood, Sweat & Beers." Again the band became a fixture on the now quite different L.A. rock scene. [1]

In April 2006 Rhino Bucket released "...And Then It Got Ugly" and toured with Broken Teeth, The Supersuckers, Kix, and Dangerous Toys. 2007 saw the release of two new CDs "PAIN and Suffering" and "No Song Left Behind" and continued to tour. In July 2007, Simon Wright reunited with the band for the Rocklahoma festival in Pryor, Oklahoma and the bands' 5 week club tour the following Fall. Rhino Bucket is currently self producing a new album with their friend and ATIGU producer Stephan Sigerson for a 2008 release.[2].
