Description
Founded in Berkeley by junior high buddies, Tommy Dunbar and Jon Rubin, The Rubinoos are one of the seminal power pop artists of the 1970s. In 1977 they hit the top 40 with a cover of Tommy James' "I Think We're Alone Now." In 1978 they followed it with the power pop classic "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend", which was named record of the year by Britain's Music Week Magazine. Several albums and decades later The Rubes can still crank out the pop gems as exemplified by the 2006 release Twist Pop Sin . In 2007 the band was honored with the career spanning 3-CD anthology, Everything You Always Wanted To Know About The Rubinoos.
