Disappointed by Candy

The Nashville based Disappointed By Candy was born out of the hearts and minds of two classically trained percussionists, Gabe Ruschival and Jeremy Lutito. Formed in May of 2003 as a raised fist to a long simmering pot of false starts and dead ends in their diverse musical journey, Disappointed By Candy emerged quickly as one of Nashville’s most exciting and promising acts. Armed with an energetic and engaging live show that Nashville’s All The RAGE described as “more dynamic and entertaining than ever”, DBC operates as a full-fledged duo, utilizing live sampling and programing as they fly around the stage, and at times switching instruments mid-song. They released their debut recording The Restless Star EP in February of 2005 which PASTE Magazine called ‘alternately mopey and melodic, a palatable and daring sound’. Soon after, in the summer of 2005 they hit the road with fellow Nashville artists and friends Tyler James, Trent Dabbs and Kate York for the Ten Out of Tenn. Tour sponsored by PASTE Magazine and MySpace. In early 2006 DBC went into hiding and immersed themselves in the creative process. Gabe and Jeremy both write songs but like to consider them all co-written in the end. They both have to agree on every musical nuance, every part and lyric before it becomes finalized. Even a fully conceived song will get put through their collaborative process. Currently, DBC is working on a full length record with producers Ian Fitchuk and Justin Loucks who are known for their fantastic work with such artists as De Novo Dahl, Trent Dabbs, and Griffin House. Stay tuned for the full length record to be released in 2007. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
