Why Can't Rubies Get Signed In America!?

They’re getting huge overseas and their record features Feist! Check out “Diamonds On Fire” (with Feist) here. Strangely, they haven’t been picked up by a label yet in the U.S. From their MySpace page:

Danceable folk, bedroom disco, and lost love laments; these are just a few facets of Rubies. California-based trio, Rubies, are three young ladies that push the boundaries of how we perceive pop music. The poised and dynamic range of songwriting keeps the listener excited by offering fresh and honest versions of future dancefloor and living room classics. Simone Rubi (lead vocals, keyboards) entices the crowd while Terri Loewenthal (bass) keeps them dancing. Add Amy Cooper’s shimmering guitar, the harmonies of all three voices and beats provided by machine or borrowed man. While it could be in a crowded avant-garde discotheque in NYC, a motorik infused warehouse in Berlin, or the pine-needle carpeted redwoods of Big Sur, the energy of Rubies will have you dreaming of your first crush. Rubies have just finished their first album. We were lucky enough to have helping hands from Eirik Glambek-Boe (Kings of Convenience) and his new group “Kommode”, Leslie Feist, Karl-Jonas Winqvist (Blood Music), Dan Judd (Sorcerer), Lars Skoglund (Laakso, Peter, Bjorn and John), Maria Eriksson (The Concretes) and a small army of other talented folks from all over the world.

There’s more music and some videos on their MySpace page.
