biographical info
This Victoria, BC supergroup (members of Immaculate Machine, ex-Paper
Cranes, Clay George) started jamming Friday nights as an excuse to hang
out and drink. Then the neighbours started complaining about the noise
so they went to play at bars instead, requesting all pay to be in beer
form. Catchy songs about mundane events, written in a matter of
minutes, sound mind-blowing to intoxicated people and that is the
really the story of our great success. Rugged Uncle is the people‘s
band. They sing about real issues that ordinary people care about, as
witnessed in the songs “Sunday Is The Sacred Day Of Baseball“, “I‘m
Really Sorry Your Bike Got Stolen“ and ”The Patch (The Mannequins Are
Much Better Dressed Than You Could Ever Be If You Shopped In There).
Remember, you were given the gift of a moustache… let it grow free.
