"The Rubys are a six-piece Indie Rock Band, formed in 2010 and hailing from Manchester, England.
Playing on the same bills as people like The Charlatans and The Buzzcocks has underscored the credibility of The Rubys.
Further gigs delivered notable performances; sell-out gigs at The Manchester Academy, The Deaf Institute, FAC251: The Factory, Dry Bar, and Night & Day Cafe have followed. Support slots alongside more established acts emboldened The Rubys to push further; The HMV Ritz with “The Rainband”, with “Supajamma”, and Steve Pilgrim of the Paul Weller Band.
The Rubys built on their success in 2012 with the launch of their debut album, "LIMELIGHT PARASITE”.
Recorded over four weeks at Vibe Studios – where New Order had recorded previously- The Rubys transferred their live anthems to record.
The album was produced by Manchester legend Martin Coogan (The Mock Turtles) and the prodigious new talent of Dean Glover (Skeleton Suite/Young Myths).
The album proved to be a breakthrough in the US, garnering The Rubys first US #1 on Philadelphias’ SRRocks.com Countdown Chart with the track “After All”. The single would go on to record three weeks and two visits to the top, followed by a further three #1 singles in quick succession.
Syndication of the show and significant social media chatter has introduced The Rubys to fans across the US. Today, The Rubys are regularly played on stations in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and more.
In England the band have enjoyed appearances on BBC Introducing, Absolute Radio, North Manchester FM, AllFM, Manchester Radio Online, and Salford City Radio to compliment a strong Social Media presence.
The Rubys commenced the ‘Limelight Parasite Tour 2013” with a critically acclaimed show at Dry Bar, Manchester, followed by gigs at The Good Ship in London & The O2 Academy, Birmingham.
Future plans for the The Rubys include the recording of a second album with Martin Coogan, the prospect of more tours & Festivals in 2015, and a long heralded US Tour."
