Toronto band Born Ruffians is back in town for their fifth studio album Uncle, Duke & the Chief. We caught the band in Oct 2016 and wrote, “Arriving on stage with four circular display that read: “R-U-F-F” in the background. They actually had trouble setting up these things because the 7th Street Entry’s stage is very small and they had to cramped in the letters.”
