Who?
Drenched in reverb and unabashedly Australian, The Rubens have justified their reputation as a group on the cusp of 'break out' status.
Sprouting from regional New South Wales, the lads have already established a fervent following, having sold out three of four upcoming shows at the Northcote Social Club. Their popularity was also consolidated by a spot in this year's Triple J Hottest 100.
The Rubens' sound is simple; tough blues smoothed over by a healthy dollop of soul. Critics have already pigeonholed them as Australia's answer to the Black Keys (for anyone unaware, they sing that fairly popular "Lonely Boy" ditty). From the sounds of their early material, such comparisons are apt.
The band's full-length debut is due for release later this year. It will have fans salivating, especially considering it is being produced David Khane (Paul McCartney, Tony Bennett, The Strokes).
Downloads?
Head over to
Triple J Unearthed and download three of The Rubens' tracks for free. Begin with 'Lay It Down', a track that stormed to 57 in Triple J's Hottest 100. The soulful 'My Gun' is likely to attain similar success.
Where?
The Rubens will play the Northcote Social Club (301 High St Northcote VIC 3070) on April 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th.
Tickets are available
here . Keep in mind the first three shows have sold out with the fourth selling fast (it is feasible that it will have already sold out by the time you read this).
An interesting fact or three…
Three of the band members are brothers (Zaac, Elliot and Sam Margin).
