“The Ruby Sea”, Thin White Rope

This way: The Ruby Sea

Thin White Rope was an American rock band fronted by Guy Kyser and related to the desert rock and Paisley Underground subgenres. The band released five albums.

The band was formed in Davis, California, during a period spanning 1981 and 1982. Founding members Guy Kyser and Jozef Becker were in a band called the Les Z Boys in 1981. Becker and Kyser split off during the 1981-1982 period, and posted an ad at Skip's Music seeking a bass player and another guitarist. Roger Kunkel answered the ad, bringing in bass player Kevin Staydohar. The newly formed band played some of the same covers as the Les Z Boys, and also began to introduce original songs by Kyser. 

The name "Thin White Rope" was derived from William S. Burroughs' description of human semen in Naked Lunch. It was suggested by a friend of Becker and agreed upon by the four original members during the 1981–1982 period.
