About Me


"SATURATION DAY"
IS IN STORES NOW AND AVAILABLE FOR SECURE PURCHASE
THRU PAYPAL FROM www.theribbondevice.com
Check out The Ribbon Devices debut album "Saturation Day". Our self produced 14 track master piece, done at our dual studio,because we wanted complete control and no compromises! The album is being described as "strange pop" a cross between Beck, David Bowie and the Pixies. Timelessly eclectic and left of the bent hand side. It's summer drenched pop at its finest!
The Ribbon Device The Ribbon Device started early 2004, as the brainchild of Mat Creedon (vox & guitar) and his trusty companion Mimmo Panunzio (bass). Along the way they have enlisted an ever changing line up of musicians including Bar McKinnon (keys & woodwinds) of Mr Bungle and Secret Chiefs 3, Pat Moore (drums), Mat Baulch (guitar/Sax), Ben Street (guitar/synth) and the amazing Mundo (Drums).
Album Launch Review
The Ribbon Device @ Bar Open
September 17th 2006
"It’s hard to ignore the Ribbon Device’s allusions to music as art; their latest release, Saturation Day, is a virtual red flag to all practitioners of lazy pop rot that the rest of us deserve something slightly more diverse and a hell of a lot more intellectual. So it was no surprise when attending their album launch at Bar Open that I’d be greeted by all manner of expressionism – crews with laptops intravenously hooked into the sound system, video cameras and a film projector to guide us through our journey.
Make no mistake, The Ribbon Device are in no need of gimmicks to make their show fly, with a line-up constructed from some of the finest we have to offer and material carefully crafted over many a year, it’s a weight they’re more than capable of carrying on their own. It may just be a personal observation, but I had to give them kudos for their transition from studio to live arena, fragile and understated it’s quite possible that many of their subtleties could have been lost in the translation – their more delicate percussive work, delivery of harmonies and integration of electronic elements remained beautifully intact."
