If you like indie pop music, then you is going to love this band. The Ruby Suns originated in New Zealand. It was in 2004 that this group became a band. It started with a man named Ryan McPhun. He had moved to Auckland. There, he played in several bands. They were: The Brunettes and The Tokey Tones to name a few of them.
The band had started out as just Ryan McPhun and the Ruby Suns. It wasn’t until the year 2006 though that they changed their name; they had changed it to just plain old Ruby Suns. You will see that they have a signed contract with Lil Chief Records which is located in New Zealand. They are also signed with Memphis Industries which is located in Britain.
Many have seen them in concert as they have traveled all over Europe in 2007 as this was their first road trip. It was their debut album which was self titled which they were supporting when they took this trip. Later throughout their tour, they had toured with the Shins throughout Australia.
Since 2007 though, they have been signed with the American record label known as the Sub Pop. You might have heard about the second album that they have come out with. This was called Sea Lion. This was put out in January of 2008.
They have even done some charity work. This works for them as well as for the organization which they are trying to promote. They had written the song called Don’t Touch the Dusty Fruit. This was to help with the album Songs for Survival which was the Survival International album. They have even done a song for Windows Vistas commercial for what they called the Mojave Experiment.
Since these latest developments, they have put out a third album. This album is titled Fight Softly which was put out on shelves as of March 2, 2010. Before that, they had written one song that was placed in the indie compilation of indie music titled Indiecater Volume 2. The song that they had submitted for them to use was called There are Birds. It has been said that these have helped them to really get their name out there to those who haven’t heard about them before. There are many who just love their music and wish they would put more out. The band says to give them time.
While this might not seem like they have accomplished a lot, for the band that they have just started, this is quite a bit of accomplishments. There are still more things that can be done and they are making every stride to do them. The fans that they already have just have to be patient and they will work their magic, but the fans and the band alike have all the confidence that this band will make it big. Just look at what they have already done so far. If you haven’t heard their music yet, it might be time for you to check them out.
