Auckland, New Zealand
Their sound lies somewhere between Youthgroup (but more creative) and Dappled Cities (but not as creative). So it may only be a matter of time before The Ruby Suns cover yet another 1984 'classic', or get remixed by DFA. However, judging by the attention they've had on US Blogs, I feel these Kiwis are more than capable of making it with their own sound, as they join a host of other quality acts on the impressive Lil' Chief Label, leap-frogging Australia, straight to the UK, Europe, US and beyond.
