Ruby Isle is a side project of Twin Cities Mad Pop Genius Mark Mallman . Yes, that Mark Mallman. He who writes songs that last longer than a Greek wedding celebration. For the most part, Ruby Isle finds Mallman reigning in his super-sized obsessions, but that didn't stop the band from recording, and selling, a song-by-song remake of the Gun's N' Roses classic, Appetite For Destruction . And then being forced to stop selling it. And then being permitted by their record company [...]

TSOI pretty much only features bands that we really dig. Dan Gellar is the mastermind behind the influential Athens, GA based label kindercore and a member of two bands that we absolutely revere: I Am The World Trade Center and his current band, Ruby Isle . Ruby Isle released "Night Shot" a massive bouncy slab of machined-guitar drum machine thump-driven pop perfection. Earlier this year, Ruby Isle released "Night Shot – The Remixes" which runs their 2008 debut record through the remix machine. [...]

Waxx Maxx From: Minneapolis, United States The brilliantly named Nicole Godiva (who is surely nicknamed Lady!) dropped me an email saying she liked the blog (flattery get's you everywhere Nicole) and telling me that she has joined forces with her sister Alyssa Brenny and Ruby Isle's Mark Mallman (featured on the Devil's blog back in March last year Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town ) to form Waxx Maxx. The trio will be [...]
Everybody likes a good cover song. They are coming out all of the time, but only receive scattered coverage on blogs and mainstream music websites. Our approach has been to build up a solid mix of indie cover songs over time, and publish them in less frequent, but more extensive, playlists. There are some terrific cover [...] Related posts:Top Indie Songs of the Week: Grand Archives, Free Energy, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Radiohead and More Indie Cover Songs, Vol. V: The Format, Ruby Weapon, Radiohead, Broken Social Scene, Dr. Dog & Band of Horses Indie Cover Songs, Vol III: [...]
Ruby Isle - So Damn High (Will Eastman Mix) We're giving away tix to catch Will Eastman in DC! Follow Will Eastman on Twitter. MP3: Ruby Isle - So Damn High (Will Eastman Mix)
Saturday started with a bit of a rude weather awakening. The alarm went off with the sound of sideways rain hitting the windows. A quick check of the weather revealed that Austin revealed a projected high of 46 degrees with lows dipping into the 30s. If you're wondering if anything could take the party out of Austin during SXSW, this was definitely it. We had big plans for the day though and headed out bundled up as a best we could with the limited—and mostly non-existent—warm clothing available. Our original [...]
Ruby Isle , who have been known to make Animal Collective , Decemberists , and Bon Iver suitable for the dance floor, are now taking on a brand new challenge. The band have worked out covering Guns N' Roses ' Appetite for Destruction . Release dates for the project have yet to be announced (a few details have leaked, such as Har Mar Superstar guesting on "Sweet Child O' Mine"), but the band will debut the material at two live sets at SXSW--March 17 at Lambert's and March 20 at The Side [...]
Mallman channeling Axl Rose? Yes please.
The electro outfit Ruby Isle has become notorious for its ambitious covers, turning well-known indie tracks from the likes of Bon Iver , The Decemberists , and Animal Collective into dance-floor approved versions. But the band's next project might just take the cake. Ruby Isle has spent the last months re-recording Guns N' Roses' 1988 LP Appetite for Destruction . And as vocalist Mark Mallman explains, the project quickly evolved from a straightforward electronic adaptation to a "paced-out experiment incorporating both live and electronic instrumentation." "In the beginning of [...]

Here in Brooklyn we've got nearly 2 feet of snow and it's still coming down a bit. It was a "work from home" day that ended at 11am. I trekked out once to check on my roommates car and then back in the house. I'd gladly have a snowball fight or build a snowperson with someone or go sledding before the snow turns black and yellow and other assorted unnatural colors. In the meantime I will sit here and share some snowy music with you on this Friday afternoon. The Mendoza Line [...]
