Born Ruffians - "Red Yellow and Blue (White Williams Mix)" This is the soundtrack to the secret hidden Cloud Level you can get to on Red, Yellow and Blue , that steady and stalwart shortlist contender for album of the year. If you listen to the album all the way through once but don't quite let it finish, then press back on the cd player and listen to the first second of every track right bac...
Original Dutch review on internetkilledtheradiostar.blog.comThe name is somewhat misleading, because a “ruffian” surely is someone a bit rebellious. So you would expect rebellious music, or in any case lines more rebellious than the sweet “Make a point of having fun, it’ll help you get through life.” But for the people who know what is to come, and one can assume that especially in Holla

I heard them on my fav radio show ever,Fair Game podcast (mp3), last night and they were the sickest thing I have ever heard. These Canadian boys blow me away. So much soul and inventiveness. Definitely one of those talking heads descendants to keep an eye on. However, I later DLed a bunch of their studio tracks, they're not bad but i would have totally ignored this shit had i heard it otherwis...

You can listen to the full-linght studio version of this on on their myspace (http://myspace.com/bornruffians)THIS JUST IN: Out of nowhere, they're playing a New York show on march 10th. I'm very excited to see them actually live! I have a feeling my sudden love for them willed this into being...
Monday: Fanfarlo + Wildbirds & Peacedrums @ Bowery Ballroom 7pm $12 [tix]I've had lots of people telling me I should check out Fanfarlo for months now and I have to admit I haven't listened to those people or the band yet. I guess now would be as good a time as ever as the band hits New York for a couple of shows this week. They've already gotten big enough that this show had to be moved from M...
Video: Born Ruffians - Oh Man (acoustic, live 11/12 in Bellwoods)Been wondering what Born Ruffians have been up to. Here’s some video evidence that’s pretty promising. Luke played a few songs live in the woods for the aptly titled “Live in the Bellwoods” series earlier in the week.

Born Ruffians are sorta like the sour patch kids in these hilarious commercials. First they're sour, then they're sweet. Once Luke LaLonde's piercing voice hits the airwaves, your windows might shatter and you might go deaf for a few seconds, but as soon as you adjust (unshrug your shoulders and unsquint your eyes), you'll see that Born Ruffians can be just as harmlessly entertaining as any m...
