The Rubens National Tour 2012
New South Wales boys, The Rubens, are on their self titled album tour and are touring nationally through September and October.
The three brothers and childhood friend recorded a demo at their home in 2011 put it up on YouTube in the hope that a few people might hear them. Little did they know that one of those people who listened was producer David Kahne, who ended up working with the boys to help them produce their first self titled debut album.
One of their home recordings, a track called ‘Lay It Down’ had struck a huge chord at radio and found itself sitting at #57 in triple j’s 2011 Hottest 100 poll. With Sam’s soulful, bluesy vocals, Scott’s swinging, hip hop beats, Zaac’s swaggering guitar lines and Elliott’s organ tones, it’s a song that perfectly encapsulates The Rubens’ signature sound.
With David Kahne’s skill and experience, the band’s undeniable song writing talent, and their desire to put themselves on the line all forming a powerful combination, The Rubens have made one of the most ambitious and exciting debut records you’re likely to hear for some time.
