Currently they are mostly playing at Max's Kansas City[6] and CBGB's Reunions.[7]


History


The band formed during glam rock era in the 1970s in New York.[8] They debuted at the Mercer Arts Center opening for New York Dolls, where Patti Smith used to read poetry to open the concerts for Ruby and the Rednecks and other bands such as Teenage Lust and the New York Dolls.[9] Michael Arian said, "Ruby was just extraordinary and was very, very entertaining". Ruby and the Rednecks were one of the staples of the Mercer's scene, appearing on the bill at the New Year's Eve 1972 gig with Jonathan Richman's Modern Lovers, Suicide, Jayne County, and the New York Dolls.[10] In 1972, the Mercer Arts Center Collapsed and the void for Glam Rock was filled by Max's Kansas City and CBGB's that became the stage for bands like the New York Dolls, Suicide, Television, the Dictators, and the Ramones. Thus the group became part of the punk rock movement,[11] and started to perform on the New York Club circuit such as Max's Kansas City and CBGB's during the 1970s with other noted artists including Debbie Harry, Ramones, Talking Heads, Blondie, Patti Smith and New York Dolls.[12][13]

Ruby and the Rednecks released two albums produced by Peter Crowley and Ruby Lynn Reyner: From the Wrong side of Town and Live Again! At CBGB's
