The band name

Zaac’s, Sam, and the younger brother, Jett, plays the drums, which Scotty taught him. The band really asked him if he wanted to join the band at the time, but he declined since he didn’t like their music. So, in spite of him, the three guys named the band Ruben, which was his nickname at the time.

Where did they go to school?

The Rubens will follow up their Hottest 100 victory on Friday with a performance on Triple J’s Like A Version, in which they will cover another artist’s song, and he said they are looking forward to playing in the studio. Mr Margin stated that all members of the band grew up in Camden. Macarthur Anglican School was where the Margin brothers went to school.

They were never really the cool kid sor losers, they were in the middle, being friendly with everyone around them. Once they picked up playing songs, they got famous real quick around their area, and you know the rest of their story.
