PRESS RELEASE

Electro cover machine Ruby Isle has announced that they are unveiling their latest cover project in early 2010. The party band of the apocalypse, known best for dance floor versions of Animal Collective, Decemberists and Bon Iver, has been re-recording Guns N Roses 1988 LP Appetite for Destruction. The project is nearing completion and the band will debut their take on GNR at SXSW 2010.


What started as a straightforward electronic adaptation of GNRs debut slowly evolved into a spaced-out experiment incorporating both live and electronic instrumentation. Ruby Isle vocalist Mark Mallman commented, In the beginning of recording everything just seemed too obvious. We decided to go into the studio and bring in musicians with diverse musical backgrounds to make this thing a little more interesting. The extended sound palette includes a jazz quartet, French female vocals, live strings and a guest appearance from Har Mar Superstar on Sweet Child O Mine.


While the sonic direction of the LP is a huge departure for the electro-arena rock leaning trio; the members of Ruby Isle all agree that Appetite for Destruction was an easy choice as they were all very familiar with it from spending their formative years in bowling alleys of the Midwest. Says Ruby Isles Dan Geller, It is my older brothers favorite LP of all time, when he hears what we did to it, he is probably going to kill me. Dans brother Kevin was unavailable for comment.

Ruby Isle will debut their new project live at SXSW 2010 and the LP will follow later this year.
