Shine your shoes and polish your hair for this night of romancin' in nostalgia." -Troy Mighty, Midtown Monthly
Founded in Berkeley by junior high buddies, Tommy Dunbar and Jon Rubin, The Rubinoos are one of the seminal power pop artists of the 1970s. In 1977 they hit the top 40 with a cover of Tommy James' "I Think We're Alone Now." In 1978 they followed it with the power pop classic "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend," which was named "Record of the Year" by Britain's Music Week Magazine. In '84 The Rubes recorded one of their most popular songs the title cut of the film Revenge of the Nerds. Several albums, tours and decades later The Rubes can still crank out the pop gems. In 2007 the band was honored with the career spanning 3-CD anthology, Everything You Always Wanted To Know About The Rubinoos. In 2007, The Rubinoos dusted off their guitars and hit the road for a tour of Japan and the release of the Japan only double CD set One Two That's It. In 2009, the group returned to Spain to support the release of their album HodgePodge.
And in 2010, The Rubinoos 40th Anniversary year, saw the group release two new albums, Automatic Toaster and the childrens disc, Biff Boff Boing. They also toured Spain and Italy, headlined the Felipop Festival in Galicia and on October 23rd celebrated their 40th Anniversay in spectacular style at the Great American Music Hall in SF.
In Feb. 2011 The Rubinoos returned to Japan and released a tour-only souvenir 2 song CD, and after this night's extravaganza, are heading back to Spain to headline Festival CulturaPop: 2011
