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!!
It was a great pleasure. I'd heard lots of great things about you through various Aussie and Spanish friends...it's not that I didn't believe them (I couldn't like and respect anyone more than that Los Chicos rabble!), but the reality exceeded even their high praise.
That's you playing guitar on the new Wreckin' Rome single, verdad?
Subculture Weekend Friday 13 and Saturday 14 November - Two Wild line ups over two nights! Get yourself along! Both nights take place in The Sandringham Hotel, Newtown, NSW, New! Upstairs, Flash! Big Room! Refer to Barfly Promotions blog for more info.
So I'm sitting up at 10.45 last night watching the credits roll on the end of the Caroline Byrne telemovie and who's name should pop up in the music credits? Nice one Casino. Especially as there was only about 4 songs in the whole movie!
In our tragic and misguided bid to relive past glories, drink far to much
for men of our age and stay up way past our bedtimes Decline of the
Reptiles will once again be gracing the stages of Sydney for some
middle aged mayhem. Our first appearance is that rock god staple - THE
IN STORE APPEARANCE - at Allan's music in the city at 3pm Friday the
6th of November where we'll be simultaneously playing every instrument
in the store for what promises to be a very special 30 minutes.
After that we have the pleasure of putting our disco jive togs on to play
with the Hitmen in both of their two rare appearances at the Sando in
Newtown on the 20th and 21st of November. This will be just like old
times, only a bit chubbier and with less hair - well at least on our
scones anyway. Better see some of you guys at one of these.
