Ruby Isle

Ruby Isle is a band created when Mark Mallman joined with his high school friend Dan Geller (co-founder of Kindercore Records) and drummer Aaron LeMay. They released an EP, Into the Black in 2007 and released their first full-length album Night Shot in 2008.

elbo.ws covers
In late 2007, Ruby Isle started a project in which they covered the No. 1 song on indie music blog aggregator elbo.ws. The first pressing of their album Night Shot included all the covers from the first wave of this project:


 * 1) "Shadow Falls" (Hello Blue Roses)
 * 2) "Aly Walk with Me" (The Raveonettes)
 * 3) "Tyrant" (Black Mountain)
 * 4) "Foam Hands" (Destroyer)
 * 5) "Gila" (Beach House)
 * 6) "The Planes of Baltimore" (Stephen Malkmus/MIA)
 * Ruby Isle missed a week, so they took two week's number ones ("Baltimore" by Stephen Malkmus and "Paper Planes" by MIA) and created one "mash-up" cover


 * 1) "Sax Rohmer No. 1" (The Mountain Goats)
 * 2) "Cherry Tulips" (Headlights)
