Rubaboo is an experimental music, sound and visual art collective
based in Victoria, British Columbia, consisting of Chelsea, Cousin
Nelle, jody franklin and Stefan Kunz. Rubaboo takes its name from the
rustic and hearty stew of bear grease and peas made and eaten by
voyageurs on their long journeys through the Canadian hinterland.
Realistic Barnyard Friends is their debut recording, an intuitive,
fully-improvised, one take per track concept album of 15 song sketches
and electroacoustic audio experiments recorded in February 2008. The
songs expose the "Sinister Conspiracy" of Farmer Joe "Old McDonald"
Brown and the revolutionary response to his manipulative machinations
by a cabal of communist cocks and hens, and explores the intervention
of a helper monkey friend from Africa and his mystical god-pal the
Secret Goat. Their follow-up EP Amor de Cosmos in Lotusland is a
tribute to the languid culture of the British Columbia coast.
The Rubaboo collective includes acclaimed multidisciplinary artist
jody franklin of Vancouver-based visceralmusic/performance art troupe
July Fourth Toilet. franklin is an award-winning experimental filmmaker,
visual artist and co-publisher/editor of MungBeing arts & literary magazine.
