The Rugburns
The Rugburns are an American rock band from San Diego, California.
The Beginning
History
The Rugburns group formed and began playing in the local San Diego, CA area as a duo. In the beginning, Steve Poltz and Robert Driscoll were acoustic duo playing in various coffeehouses and bars including the Blarney Stone Pub, Innerchange Coffee House, Megalopolis, and Java Joe's. They would sometimes be joined by Gerald "Child" McMullin making them a temporary acoustic power trio. The group released several self-produced cassette tapes in this band formation and were becoming a huge local draw and favorite in San Diego.
First Debut album Morning Wood - 1994
After the group signed a contract with Bizarre/Planet Records in 1993 (a label associated with Herb Cohen, who had earlier managed Linda Ronstadt, Tom Waits and Frank Zappa). The duo wanted to add a rhythm section for a full, "radio friendly" sound. It was then, the duo permanently changed to a foursome with bassist singer/songwriter Gregory Page and drummer "Stinky". The quartet released their debut album Morning Wood which was produced by Buddy Blue (of The Beat Farmers), in early 1994.
With funny, witty and sometimes bizarre lyrics, the band began to experience their first taste of national exposure; playing a sold out show at world famous Cleveland Agora Theater and Ballroom.

The Girl With The Wandering Eye
by: RugburnsYour friend with the subwoofer blew out my tweeter
At that biker party downtown
But that was OK 'cause he borrowed a fuse
From a leather-clad boy in the back
And after the cops and the requisite fight
Me and my friends we fell down for the night
And I made love to the girl with the wandering eye
Think my baby's got a wandering eye
I woke to the sound of a fist on my doorbell
With a headache the size of Peru
The landlord was scowling, my baby was toweling off
Beer mixed with blood from the floor
And after the eviction was handed to me
We moved to the trailer park, three by three
And I made love to the girl with the wandering eye
Think my baby's got a wandering eye
Ah, divided, unrequited, uninvited
We're short-sighted, but united
In love
I think we're in love
I got a job at the Subway downtown
Making sandwiches with plastic gloves
Her Mother moved in and we all lived in sin
Playing miniature golf underground
And after the parties the leather-clad boys
Would square dance together and make lots of noise
And I'd make love to the girl with the wandering eye
Think my baby's got a wandering eye
Ah, divided, unrequited, uninvited
We're short-sighted, but united
In love
I think we're in love
We borrowed a printing press, started a paper
To publish our leftist ideals
We spoke of a new world, the FBI soon heard
The phones were tap dancing too
And after the Feds and the requisite fight
We ran from the trailer in the middle of the night
And I had a child with the girl with the wandering eye
Think my baby's got a wandering eye
Think my baby's gong to stay for a while
Ah, divided, unrequited, uninvited
We're short-sighted, but united
In love
