Rubaiyat
Rubaiyat is a four piece doom-wop band based out of Los Angeles, California.
Singer/songwriter Joel Carl Heinrich ( Black Ass Humans of the Neon Future,
The Oarsman, Rat Rios) has teamed up with his friends to play earnest love
songs in the key of Chad Vangaalen while exploring the raw emotional side of
relationships. Rubaiyat’s songs are a romp through a lover’s heart; from Out in the Night’s
rowdy “drunk on the moon” lover stumbling home for romance in the backyard
to Yer Ture’s sweetly, sincere and misplaced love where Joel channels
Kim Gordon’s woeful croon, singing “You were my friend/but I loved you”
Rubaiyat captures the spectrum of our emotional lives with the lyrical care of
Leonard Cohen or Tom Waits.
HistoryThe word “rubaiyat” means a collection of “ruba’i” (4 line poems) and true to their etymology Rubaiyat is a collection of songs written between 2004-2016. Starting in a dorm-room at Interlochen Arts Academy, Joel crafted and recorded hundreds of songs which are now fodder for Rubaiyat’s endless stream of new music.
