Rugburns in Mono

Featuring such luminaries as Matt Shupe (The Denver Gentlemen), Shawn King (Devotchka), Soapy Argyle (Six Months to Live), Mr. Tree (Up With People), Mattholemew Nichols (Three's Company), and Miss Deal (The Rugburns), the Rugburns are Denver's hottest supergroup.

Disgusted with the dearth of under-rehearsed nostalgia acts playing songs exclusively about dance crazes, these six stalwart strummers set about to rectify the situation.

And rectify it they did.

Unfortunately the band has broken up after each of their five shows.

Too much talent.
