Description

Ruby Throat formed in 2007 during the time in which KatieJane Garsides band Queenadreena was in stages of dissolution. Ruby Throat was formed of herself and partner Chris Whittingham, an American from Hawaii. Known for the hard-edged musical aesthetic of Garsides former bands Daisy Chainsaw and Queenadreena, Garside sought a stripped down, folk-oriented sound when forming Ruby Throat, with many of the duos songs being based around acoustic guitar and evoking a folk noir sound. Each of the groups releases has received hand-crafted packaging, artwork, and sometimes personal handwritten lyrics and other accompaniments from Garside. Garside and partner Whittingham spent 2012 living on their yacht, Iona. In 2014 they released a new song, a cover of Secret Fires by The Gun Club, which appeared on the third Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Compilation Axels & Sockets. It was announced on August 1st, 2014, that Ruby Throats fourth album will be called Baby Darling Toporo, this was released in November 2017.
