By taking the low end guitar heavy elements of stoner rock and merging it with a keen ear for a catchy hook Don Fernando are showing that heavy music can be combined with a pop sensibility to create something unique and exciting, the music is heavy, the guitars are about as loud as you could possibly imagine and their gigs will leave you planted firmly on your arse while humming their melodies and lamenting lost love.
Having relocated from Sydney to Melbourne in early 2008 the band
immediatly started to find their feet in Australia's home of Rock playing to a steadily increasing fan base of rock devotee's. With reviews of the live show describing them as "explosive, tight and thought provoking" and "as tough as they are rockin, Don Fernando demand your attention" It was not long until they followed up their debut EP "Its Good While it Lasts" with a debut album ("The Banquet of...") that would position them amoung Melbourne's Rock elite. The album has been recieving airplay Australia wide on Triple R, PBS and Triple J and has recieved glowing reviews in some of Australia's biggest rock magazine's, BLUNT magazine even added the single "Release me Now" onto a compilation CD which went out to all 25 000 readers.
With all this behind them Don Fernando are not content to rest on their hometown success, with European distribution and their first tour of Europe all locked in for Jan 2010 the future looks bright. Stay Tuned
Don Fernando - It's Good While It Lasts
Reviewed by Matthew Tranker (StonerRock.com)
Don Fernando calls Australia home. This is no bullshit groove heavy rock; there is a passion and aura to this release. This four piece can deliver the goods like Priest circa 1978. The guitars tones are fuzzy like warm milk. The riffs are catchy and memorable and very intelligent. Furthermore, these songs just rock your pants off. Stylistically, Don Fernando gets their influences and can be compared to Queens of the Stone Age and Fu Manchu. These guys should be signed; they’re that good and the riffs that cool and passionate.
Hey! Hey! Hey! ¿Qué onda Don Fernando? ¿Cómo está todo por allá? Esta es una coordial invitación a comenzar el maratón "Guadalupe-Reyes" o terminar el "Reyes-Guadalupe" (según sea el caso) Con nosotros el Sábado 12 de Diciembre en el Tokyo Pop (En la Condesa) estaria padre vernos en este u otro tokin!!!

THE RUBYS FIRST BIRTHDAY EXTRAVAGANZA - 4 MORE SLEEPS
One year ago, on a lonely Wednesday evening at a forgettable Collingwood pub, The Rubys played their first gig. Twelve months on, the three scrappy-looking lads have under their belts better songs, more gigs and are infecting Melbourne audiences with catchy, raw, stomp rock n roll pretty much weekly. So to mark the milestone of reaching the ripe old age of one, The Rubys are celebrating with a birthday party! With around 40 gigs down over the previous year and a wildly raucous live set, there has been a lot of jumping around and beer consumed so this Friday at the Old Bar will be no exception. Expect some wild blues-driven sets by The Volatiles and The Bellows to warm things up, and the boy’s favourite two-piece The Cheats bringing it all home. 8:30 start, $8, Party hats provided.
Hope to see you down there and we can all rock out!!
