The Ruby Suns are an indie/pop group from New Zealand. They formed in 2004 when Californian-born ryan mcphun moved to Auckland and started playing in several bands such as The Brunettes and The Tokey Tones. 'Fight Softly' is the third album by New Zealand's pop masters The Ruby Suns. Ryan McPhun (their prime mover) has the kind of voracious musical mind that cites as equal influences '80s/'90s New Jack Swing and modern Angolan kuduro, Fleetwood Mac and Britney Spears, Brazilian tropicalia and Argentinean cumbia.
