Friends plural, you ask? Yep, that's right. For all intents and purposes, Ruby Fields is not one singer-songwriter but four best friends: Adam, Patrick, Ruby and Tarzo. They've been kicking around in one another's bands for years, all based out of the Sutherland Shire and its intrinsic music community. It wasn't until Ruby's music broke out just a couple of years ago, however, that business really picked up. Before a show in Canberra, all four members of the band shared stories from across their time playing music - together, separately and through the doldrums of day-jobs. Fair warning: Pretty lame and pretty tame this ain't.

Ruby Fields will be playing two sold-out shows at the Brass Monkey in Cronulla this October, followed by a regional tour in November and December with LOSER.
