RIBUT BAND


RIBUT BAND - an unlikely name for an unlikely bunch of musicians. But surely you've heard of how In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida got its title. Likewise, CIL was named by accident, a fortunate one at that - then bass player ASSRY, kept hearing the chorus to its song Can't See Love as RIBUT BAND. Well, that's another one to laugh over a pint or three. Originally, the band had HISHAM (and Markiza, for awhile) tickling the ivories, PITOT keeping the bottom end thumping, FAIZAL spewing some words and wresting with the guitar and HASHIM keeping the groove solid. But like every other story about hopes and dreams, nothing quite turns out as planned. And once the revolving door of musicians spun once again, Reuben and Zul found themselves in the fray, anchoring down the rhythm section with a new sound and feel. Conceptually, RUBUT BAND makes no bones of its world domination ambitions (yeah, right!) but the band has planned its assault, not by attempting to reinvent the wheel, but by being honest to itself and its influences. Speaking of influences, this ranges from Blind Boy Fuller and Mahler to Calexico and Rage Against The Machine and everything in between, of course. So expect to hear bits and pieces of everything you've come to know of popular music when you attend a show by the band or listen to its music. Trust us, you'll have no paws for regret
