About Me

Things have changed since ruacutane ’s birth in 2003 from the meeting of jérémie (voice and guitar), xavier (keys and programming) and sandra (voice) and since renaud and nicholas have joined the band on drums and double bass…
The very first cries of their atmospheric electro-pop music were as promising as sandra and jérémie’s voices. Their savvy mixture of influences ranges from Grandaddy, Yo la tengo to The Notwist.
Since then ruacutane matured with the help of a Demopoll win on StuBru, a first EP out on Cartepostalerecords, several opening acts for Jarvis Cocker at Ancienne Belgique and for The Veils in Le Botanique , and concerts on the off-stages at Verdur Rock in Namur or at Francofolies de Spa.
The band’s first full album is due out in 2008. The recordings have been done by Julien Paschal (member of Sharko) who has already revealed himself on recordings for Soy Un Caballo, Raymondo, Ghinzu, Minérale, etc.
ruacutane , the more you take it, the more you want it: on a daily basis at home or as a live injection… no risk of overdose.
