The Rubens  

The Rubens are a four-piece alternative rock band originally from Menangle, New South Wales. The band comprises the three Margin brothers, Zaac, Sam and Elliott, and a childhood friend, Scott Baldwin.

THE RUBENS ARE BROTHERS SAM, ELLIOTT AND ZAAC MARGIN AND GOOD FRIEND SCOTT BALDWIN. ALTHOUGH THEYVE ONLY BEEN PLAYING TOGETHER SINCE EARLY 2011, THEY HAVE ALREADY WON OVER A LEGION OF FANS WITH THEIR RICH, SOULFUL TAKE ON BLUES ROCK.

Their debut single Lay It Down struck a huge chord and saw them score the triple j Unearthed spot at Homebake before going on to hit #57 in triple js 2011 Hottest 100 poll.

Since then these Menangle wunderkinds holed up in New York City and recorded their debut album with producer David Kahne (Regina Spektor, Paul McCartney, The Strokes).

Currently on a sold-out national tour (including memorable shows at The Forum Theatre in Melbourne and two Metro Theatre shows in Sydney) THE RUBENS seem to be on a dream run, with the bands recently released debut, self-titled album coming in at #1 on the iTunes chart and an impressive #3 on the ARIA Album chart. The bands video for My Gun is also nominated for Best Video at the 2012 ARIA Awards. Not bad for a band that has been together just over a year.
