"C'est une belle goutte de rosée un matin sur des fleurs, c'est la senteur de l'herbe venant d'être coupée, c'est le vent chaud sur une plage en Septembre, c'est la plume dans le creux de mon dos." Webzine à découvrir absolument.

Things have changed since ruacutane’s birth in 2003 from the meeting of jérémie (voice and guitar), xavier (keys and programming) and sandra (voice) and since renaud and nicholas have joined the band on drums and double bass…
The first cries of their music, atmospheric pop with accents of electro, were promising with sandra and jérémie’s voices on top.
Since this savvy mixture of influences ranging from Grandaddy, Yo la tengo to The Notwist, ruacutane matured with the help of a Demopoll win on StuBru, a first EP out on Cartepostalerecords, several opening acts like for Jarvis Cocker at Ancienne Belgique and for The Veils in Le Botanique, and concerts on the off-stages at Verdur Rock in Namur or at Francofolies de Spa.
The band’s first full album “Cancel key” is released on September 15th 2009. The recordings have been done by Julien Paschal who has already revealed himself on recordings for Soy Un Caballo, Raymondo, Ghinzu, Minérale, etc and the mix was done by Christine Verschorren, Ghinzu, Moondog Jr,…
The "Sittin' on the dock of the bay" cover by ruacutane is featured on "Paris dernière volume 7" by Béatrice Ardisson.
ruacutane, the more you take it, the more you want it: on a daily basis at home or as a live injection… no risk of overdose.
Yo ruacutaneasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
Très fan du clip! et merci d'avoir pensé à me l'envoyer, suis toujours à Bruxelles, alors à quand un concert? good luck pour la sortie de l'album! joanna
