Ruby Aldridge on Performing Live—and Her Favorite Summer Playlist
Pre-show jitters are an occupational hazard for models during fashion week, but as Ruby Aldridge will tell you, nothing quite compares to the stage fright that comes with performing in front of a live audience. “We played our first show at an art opening in New York a few months ago,” she says. “We did a cover of ‘Astro Zombies’ by the Misfits and three of our own songs. I was so nervous about the show, I almost didn’t show up!” Coachella is a chance for the 20-year-old music head to indulge her favorite passion, and this year one of her favorite British punk rock groups, the Buzzcocks, made the lineup. “I almost missed their set; it was devastating! Luckily I caught the end,” she says. Other bands on her Coachella must-see list? Psych rockers the Black Angels, Britpop legends Pulp, and Dr. Dre. “I don’t go to many festivals, but Coachella is enticing. People are excited, and it’s like a three-day break from everyday life,” she says. As for her fledgling music career, Aldridge is taking baby steps towards the limelight with her band, tentatively called Texture. Now a little over a year old, the new project was born out of an improv session with artist and bassist Bozidar Brazda at Smash recording studios in New York. “I don’t consider myself a musician yet,” says Aldridge, who is currently on the hunt for a guitarist to complete the group. “I’m just a fan who’s excited to be making music for the first time.”

Below, Ruby Aldridge lists her top five songs for the summer:

Wipers - Is This Real?
“Wipers are a really great early eighties band; they were a huge influence on a lot of musicians (like Kurt Cobain—Nirvana covered two of their songs), and I just love this song. It’s from their album, also entitled Is This Real?, which in its entirety is really fantastic.”

R. Stevie Moore - I Like To Stay Home
“Moore is a seventies musician who is known for his home recordings. Ariel Pink, a more current artist that you might be familiar with, is very much inspired by his work. R. Stevie’s album Glad Music is amazing from beginning to end. The first time I heard it, I felt so inspired.”

The Ventures - Walk Don't Run
“There are no words on this track, but the instrumental is so incredible it’s almost like there is a vocal. The song was first written in the fifties, but then covered by them in the sixties and a lot of other people have reinterpreted it, but this one is really special.”

Buzzcocks - What Do I Get
“I was devastated that I missed part of their set at Coachella this yearr—they're one of my favorite bands. This song is just punk pop perfection, it’s so catchy.”

Wire - Mannequin
“Every song on Wire’s 1977 album Pink Flag is amazing, but if I had to pick just one, it would be this.”

She's all over shopbop all the time. Sadly I still haven't found out how to get good quality versions of their lookbooks, so these are all quite small:

Sorry if it's out of topic, but wasn't Ruby supposed to be dating Albert Hammond Jr.?
Cause it looks like now he's dating Alexa Chung...
