The Ruby Suns w/ The Union Line 10/26/10 Cafe Nine

California rockers The Union Line open the show. Organ, two guitars, bass, and drums sounded like one of my favorite new bands, Blitzentrapper. Lots of percussion and good vocals.
Headliner Ruby Suns hail from Auckland, New Zealand. Touring unit was three guys ( studio unit has more members). Drums, bass, and guitars synths put out alot of sound for three guys. They set up on the floor citing the "musicians living room" as a reason to ditch the stage. Show opened with a rousing cover of Prince's "I'll Die for You". Sang one tune in their native NZ tongue. "Oh Mojave" from the Sea Lion album on the SubPop label was a standout. Closed the show with "Runnin Up That Hill" a Kate Bush cover.
