Music News - The Rubens Announce NZ Tour This October
24 August 2016 - 0 Comments
After what has been their biggest year to date, Australia’s The Rubens make
good on their word and return for their first
ever headline tour of New Zealand.
Bursting onto the scene in 2012 with their Platinum-certified debut The Rubens,
the three NSW born brothers plus two friends are no strangers to success. The
album debuted at #3 on the ARIA Album Chart and earned The Rubens three ARIA
Award nominations, while thumping track My Gun picked up
both Rock Work of the Year at 2013’s APRA Music Awards and a spot in the top 10
of triple j 2012 Hottest 100.
The momentum behind The Rubens’ trademark bluesy rock sound continues to grow following
their massive Triple J Hottest 100 win earlier this year with their anthemic
platinum single Hoops. Lifted from their
sophomore album of the same name, Hoops (out now through Ivy
League Records) debuted at #2 on the ARIA Album Chart and continues to sit in
the Top 100 since its August release. The band made movements internationally
supporting fellow NZ natives, The Naked & Famous on their big headline tour
in North America earlier this year.
Whether playing to tens of thousands of people at Splendour in the Grass (2015)
or an intimate show for a few lucky fans,
The Rubens have proven time and time again that they are a force to be reckoned
with on the live stage. Not their first time across the Tasman; in 2012, they
supported Ohio blues rock duo, The Black Keys on their arena tour. In 2015 the
band came back to do a similar size tour with Imagine Dragons. This will be the
first time NZ fans can witness the band in club venues.
