Doors 4pm, Music 7:30pmFrom boy band to one of the best power pop bands in the world,
The Rubinoos are a must see. Best friends since junior high
school, Jon Rubin and Tommy Dunbar started gigging in their
teens. Based in Berkeley California, The Rubinoos were quickly
snapped up
by visionary label Beserkley Records along with
stablemates Jonathan Richman and Greg Kihn. The band gained
national prominence with their 1977 debut LP,
The Rubinoos
.
Renowned rock critic, Gene Sculatti, called it “the best pop
album of the decade.”
The Rubinoos have since gone on to release numerous albums
with the help of iconic musician/producers such as Todd
Rundgren, Kevin Gilbert, and most recently Americana staple
Chuck Prophet. Over the years the band has developed a broad
international audience having shared the stage with the likes of
Elvis Costello and Tom Petty. Their infectious sound has
appeared in multiple feature films and TV shows. The band’s
television debut was on the legendary “Dick Clark's American
Bandstand.” They sang the title theme
song of the cult classic
“Revenge of the Nerds” and their top 40 hit “I Think We’re Alone
Now” opened the third season of the Netflix hit comedy “Sex
Education.”
Most recently signed to the well respected boutique label Yep
Roc Records (Nick Lowe, Dave Alvin, Chuck Prophet), The
Rubinoos have never been busier and continue to draw crowds
worldwide. Playing regularly in Japan, Europe, and festivals and clubs across the United States, the band is bringing Power Pop to a whole new generation.
