THE NEXT MONTH AT RUBYS:
MAGIC DIRT
Thursday 5 Jul
Magic Dirt return with not one but two albums. The twin sisters are here - Roky’s Room & Beast! Roky’s Room is the album Magic Dirt have long threatened to make. It’s the sound of amps blowing, strings breaking & electrical circuitry pushed beyond its limits. 11 tracks of screaming, howling guitars……there’s no room for drums or vocals on this one. The band teamed up with some of their favourite guitar terrorists & together they headed to Birdland Studios, plugged in & turned it way up. The songs don’t have names, they have numbers. Beast is the slightly more ‘adjusted’ sister. This is Magic Dirt in flat out, 4 to the floor rock & roll mode. Beast is a collection of 7 of the bands most intense psycho-drama workouts. While Adalita’s lyrics take you to some dark places & force you to take a look around, the band menace you with their dirtiest primal grind yet. Lyrically & sonically, this is the sound of Magic Dirt at its most focused. Tix $19.80 + bf and $22 at the door.
