Edgars Rubenis

Guitarist and composer from Riga, Latvia. Pains And Boogies, his current three-album project, explores the vitality of finger-picked steel-string guitar traditions. Working particularly with the forms of early blues and ragtime, Rubenis writes seemingly old yet entirely new music – material that pays homage to the great originators of these styles and also dares to diverge at its own will. Rubenis first emerged on the underground scene of Eastern Europe in mid-2000’s as a member of Riga’s experimental rock band Mona de Bo. Often considered as one of the most vital forces on the Baltic scene of the recent decade, this ensemble released 5 albums spanning psychotic indie garage, collisions of free-improv and noisy drone rock.
