I assure you this is the real thing
- Sleeping With The NME
Ruth's ability to paint vivid pictures in your imagination is unparalleled in contemporary mainstream music.
- God Is In The TV
Gorgeous. Words lack the power to describe this - just make sure you hear it!
- Is This Music?
What we have here is an outrageously talented singer-songwriter.
- Louder Than War
...there’s a snappy sharpness to Ruth Theodore’s vocal delivery. Theodore skillfully plays with rhythm, pronunciation and phrasing. It's very refreshing

   About Ruth Theodore
White Holes of Mole Hills by Ruth Theodore, coming soon...

Releases

White Holes of Mole Hills (RRR005) - February 2010

Details coming soon...

Worm Food (RRR002) - November 2007

Buy Worm Food on CD / MP3 directly from River Rat Records

13 tracks of beautifully twisted, political and personal mayhem.


A biography, of sorts…

With no disrespect, I consider myself a South Coast refugee. Why? Because I stood helplessly by watching every one of my good friends die. Casualties of… peace and the filtered brutality of middle stream suburbia's small town mentality.

I used to cobble behind the stand where the bandwagons stopped, marvelling at folk either jumping on or falling off, and each time my hat filled with nothing but loss, I'd wrap my scarf up around my mouth and mumble abuse into its cloth.

But too stubborn to remain stubborn I eventually stowed away, on Dylan by night and Difranco by day. But leading the fickle is like feeding a stray, I'd have ridden on anyone heading that way, that way …back;

…before Glastonbury sold out, back before Glastonbury sold out. Before the Empire struck back with its life sized cardboard cut out. Before the Red Necks and the White Coats and the Boys in Blue got permission, to slip into their khaki under the camouflage of religion.

…before music got it its hair caught in the thick of fad and fashion and delusions of grandeur got tangled up with passion and splattered on our television screens and paper captions the lives of those who for the most would die to get reactions.

But how cowardly it is of me to list internal hardships, and have a pop at people cause we make such easy targets. And how difficult it is, to try and sing like no-one else has sung, and how brilliant it can feel to be pleased with what you've done. And how the incidental things will always have much more in tow and how the smallest of things will teach you everything you know.

…and how in the hills tops of Bhaludanda, so far from fad and fashion, there's a little boy who can dance like Michael Jackson. All the way up there and unaware of what the fuss is, he dances to the rhythm, and they clap until he blushes.

Hi Ruth,
Good to hear from u, shame some sound engineers can mess up your gig. The best one i know is Doon at the Halfmoon he has worked with loads of people since the sixties and still working there.
 
Good luck with the new album i am looking forward to hearing it.

Robert
