Born Ruffians - "This Sentence Will Ruin/Save Your Life"
Guys, I'm gonna sing this one while I'm on the exercise bike. I'm gonna bounce on top of the music like a balloon on spikes. I hate the summer, don't you guys? Don't you find you sweat so much you're always slipping on it? I'm gonna go outside and bark louder than that dog. I'm gonna challenge Isaac Brock and Frank Black to a game of jai-alai. You guys are cool here?
Born Ruffians - "Merry Little Fancy Things"
Guys my guts are spilling out, are you seeing this? Is this supposed to happen? I can see what I ate. Oh, still in the package! I feel like sleeping. Well, either that or screaming in your face. You decide. Oh, good, I wasn't tired anyway. Fuck, now I'm tired.

Born Ruffians, you have my full attention tomorrow.
Posted by Dan at September 1, 2006 10:34 PMThere is no doubt in my mind that Born Ruffians will be huge. I was lucky enough to catch them live last July and they put on an amazing show.
I hope their imminent success rubs off on the equally awesome Henri Faberge and the Adorables; a large Toronto collective that includes Born Ruffians' three members.
Posted by Jonathan at September 2, 2006 12:56 AMI really wish i could go to osheaga tomorrow. there are so many bands that i wanted to see and get to know...oh well...maybe next time.
I especially liked "This sentence will ruin...". He is so into it his voice just might burst...or run out of air. I bet they are fun to watch alive.
When the Ruffians played Ottawa with My Dad vs. Yours, Henri Faberge and the Adorables and the Relief Maps it was the best show of the summer by far. The Ontario music scene is blowing up just as Montreal's has.
