Ten
years ago, on the very first song on their very first album, Born
Ruffians revealed their ambitions to start their own country. They
didn't really offer details about how they would go about legally
annexing land, drafting a constitution or establishing a native
currency, but we did know this much: it had a population of
three-singer/guitarist Luke Lalonde, bassist Mitch DeRosier and drummer
Steve Hamelin. It would have a simple flag made up of the colors waved
in the album's title, Red, Yellow & Blue. And as that album vividly
illustrated, their country was a primitive place marked by jagged
terrain, rickety footbridges and sudden tremors. Its roughly sketched
borders were defended by makeshift fences made of tangled guitar
strings, broken drumsticks and-when all else failed-ravenous hoots 'n'
hollers.
