Danceable folk, homemade disco, and lost love laments; these are just a few facets of Rubies. The poised and dynamic range of songwriting keeps the listener excited by offering fresh and honest versions of future dancefloor and living room classics. Simone Rubi (lead vocals, keyboards) entices the crowd while Terri Loewenthal (bass) keeps them dancing. Add some shimmering guitar, the harmonies and beats provided by machine or borrowed man, and try to resist. While it could be in a crowded avant-garde discotheque in NYC, a motorik infused warehouse in Berlin, or the pine-needle carpeted redwoods of Big Sur, you will be easily moved by the conviction that Rubies offers. Both huge and intimate moments make the live show a beautifully creative experience.
For our debut album, "Explode from the Center," we were lucky enough to have helping hands from Eirik Glambek-Boe (Kings of Convenience) and his new group "Kommode", Leslie Feist, Karl-Jonas Winqvist (Blood Music), Dan Judd (Sorcerer), Lars Skoglund (Laakso, Lykke Li), Maria Eriksson (The Concretes) and a small army of other talented folks from all over the world. Simone and Terri also play in the pop group "Call and Response". Visit Rubies

I Feel Electric
well,thanks a lot for the add and have a good time and go on like this....love your music..... joel noel......an i wish you a white chistmas...dernesto
I sat down and smoked a bowl and listened to the Studio remix of "Room without a Key" and I was transported back to the first time I heard "Station" by Call & Response. I totally get lost in rivers of vocal and beat.
This is beautiful. Everything about it. I can't wait for you to come back to California.
