The Untold Ruby Cadilac Story: From NY to South Florida, The Spanish Dogs, and a Life in Music /////////////////
Ruby Cadilac shares her untold journey from Staten Island, New York to the heart of South Florida’s punk and rock scene. Picking up a guitar at just five years old, she started with lessons and a kiddie girl group before moving to Miami, diving into the disco nightlife and discovering heavier sounds from AC/DC to Van Halen.
Ruby tells how she joined The Spanish Dogs, where she was given the name “Cynthia Pin,” an experimental rock band blending punk, reggae, and new wave. She also shares the story of forming her all-girl hard rock band Ruby Cadilac, influenced by Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Eric Clapton, and Heart.
Hear about her recordings with both bands, the creation of “10 Seconds to Hell” and “Your Daughter,” the highs and lows of the 1980s party scene, the influence of her parents, and her current surf rock and rockabilly project Six Foot Swell. This is a story of music, resilience, and South Florida rock history. This episode is dedicated to the members of The Spanish Dogs and Ruby Cadilac (band) who have passed away.
