She has in fact been preparing for this moment all along, rising from her childhood bed to put 'Gimme Shelter' or the MC5 on the stereo, wrapping herself in the dreamy melancholy of Elliott Smith or the electrifying sounds of Link Wray, Big Star, The Sonics, The Dictators, The VU or her fathers band, YouAmI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLater, as a 45-spinning New York DJ, Ruby refined her sense of the musical hook, finding in her audiences the most direct neural route to rock and roll ecstasy. She studied violin for years but (like Bo Diddley before her) swapped the gut strings for sizzling electric guitar and the pursuit of crafting the perfect driving rock and roll pop songs that populate the Clumsy Dollies' record, New and Improved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band began to gel when Ruby joined forces with the always cool Aaron Mika (Design, Televisionaries), a drummer whose outward nonchalance behind the kit disguises a deadly solid and inventive gift for setting the perfect groove that pulls us into the Dollies' world. His driving beats are the perfect complement to Ruby's raw and squelching guitar grind. Producers Rocioand Matt Verta-Ray supply some supplemental bass, keys, and guitar, with the result being a true rock and roll gem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band's first single from the album is the fast-paced rock 'n' roll shakedown of 'Too True For You'. The guitars jangle and riff with dirty fuzz, like a lost gem from the Buzzcocks or the Ramones the perfect pairing with Ruby's uber-melodic, 60s girl-group vocal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_1bkzdz97\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_1bkzdz93 Accordion_styles_accordionItem__iw66k76\" id=\"track-list\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-hidden=\"false\" class=\"_1bkzdz96 accordion-content Accordion_content__iw66k71 active\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_1d68rll0\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"_1d68rll1\"\u003eLP\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col class=\"_1d68rll2\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eRight through me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eToo true for you\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eStar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eOn the deuce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eSpooky action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eShell shocked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eDarling cowboy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eMad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eWeight on me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eNew and improved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_1bkzdz93 Accordion_styles_accordionItem__iw66k76\" id=\"reviews\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_1bkzdz95 accordion-head Accordion_styles_head__iw66k72\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"FOLC REcords","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46250477748281,"sku":"FOLC291","price":52.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/0863\/5705\/files\/Ruby.jpg?v=1785052604","url":"https:\/\/rebelrebelrecords.com.au\/products\/ruby-the-clumsy-dollies-black-vinyl-lp","provider":"Rebel Rebel Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
