RED THIS EVER

About Me

Ada Ruiz
Bass / Keyboards / Couch
Token Female in the Band
Member Since July 2004
Afraid of spiders, the sound of her own voice, the color white and being alone.
Never gets enough alcohol, self-loathing, the color black and being alone (yes, there is a fine medium).Dubbed an airforce brat being brought up in the confines of Europe, Ada has been playing music since the early years. First piano, then guitar to keyboards and finally, her favorite of all times…the bass. Always trying to master all she does, she fears the violin will win in the end, but there is always hope (or a need for some punk violin screams that can make an ear bleed…should that time ever come…then she has mastered it already).
Influenced by such bands as Ministry, Skinny Puppy, A23, Wolfsheim, Abba, David Bowie and more, she has burned holes in albums as diverse as the Grease Soundtrack to the Lost Boys Soundtrack, and yes…even the infamous Crow Soundtrack.
"I've played in a number of bands, but I've never felt more at home than I do when I am with the guys from Red This Ever. They are not my band mates…they're my family. I hope this ride never ends. I just want to play with them forever."
