Return of the Rubies

After nearly ten years, the Sand Rubies (originally known as the Sidewinders) from Tucson, Arizona are back with a new release entitled Mas Cuacha. The band has primarily consisted of guitarist Rich Hopkins and singer/guitarist David Slutes. Rich has released a huge number of records on his own in that space in time, some very limited (such as the recent 3CD German fan club live affair "Horse Tour 2007"). The new Sand Rubies record shouldn't be quite as limited, but is being released on their own indie label San Jacinto Records. It is also available from some online CD shops such as Blue Rose Records and CD Baby.
