Biography
Described as a “vixen-fronted Electro Punk juggernaut” and “the Yeah Yeah Yeahs-meet-Tom Waits” Hooligan Night are currently one of the most talked-about acts on the London live circuit.
Formed in 2007 by apocalyptic pin-up Ruby Blues and production maestro Nick Diezel, the formidable line-up also includes Alabama 3 keyboard player Orlando Harrison, Soho Dolls drummer Paul Stone and guitarist Gus Robertson.

The razor-sharp electronic edges of their hook-laden, guttersnipe Rock n Roll, are offset by the purring vocals and playfully barbed lyrics, telling dark tales of strange love and the sleazy side of city life.
Ruby’s towering stage-presence, honed by 5 years as an acclaimed performer on the London underground art/neo cabaret scene, has led to comparisons to the likes of Siouxie Sioux, Debbie Harry and Karen O, making Hooligan Night one of the most exciting female-fronted bands to emerge from the UK in recent memory.
The resident band at Glastonbury festival’s cult sensation Trash City, where they headlined the main stage in 2008 & 2009, Hooligan Night are also due to play the Camden Roundhouse in the Spring of 2010.
