RUBBY BOYS

There is a carelessly guarded story regarding the freaked out underground of the Boston, Massachusetts environs. It goes back years and years. In this story you can plug a spout into almost any line and fine some of the dankiest damaged psychedelic forms imaginable. On the vinyl only imprint, RECORDS, we have tried to shed some light on just a few instances of this story (SUBSKIN CABLES, EL-RON, SHRIN, DELUXX). Mainly focussed on the 1988 - 1993 era, this project saw it's greatest exposure coming from SUNBURNED HAND OF THE MAN's debut LP Headdress. The RUBBY BOYS were a band that in 1991 (or thereabouts) operated (and lived) in the very same loft-space handed down to SUNBURNED that you may have read about in many recent articles on the band. More than a mere living & practice space, it is a place that is as much a member of the band as anyone involved. The members of the RUBBY BOYS were current NY State resident PHIL FRANKLIN (SUNBURNED, FRANKLIN'S MINT, CAROLINER, FAXED HEAD - many others) and GREG PETROVADO (currently of FEATHERS... but also 'slept around' through the years). This recently surfaced collection also features RICH PONTIUS (SUNBURNED, TOUCH ME THERES, YOUR FABULOUS ASS). It is a primer of acid drenched home four track recordings as much displaying a heads up to noise New Zealand, as a call to 1970s Texas lo-fi psych - channeled through two mid-20s minds who would go on to involvement with many underground mutterings to come. LIMITED TO 100 CDRs in hand painted & glued digipaks. (label info)
