Rufus

"It's when the band loses this sense of tension that the songs on Bloom lapse into the indistinguishable background."

From an electronic act also pushing the live vibes..

Photos from the road by Jack Lawrence, words on the show by Hayden Davies..

"The Newcastle Foreshore area provided a cosy and intimate space to host the mini village that had sprung up on the outskirts of the city."

"It's best to ignore the repetitive nature of the songs and just lose yourself to the music with the rest of the gyrating (and attractive) crowd."

"With streams of white light going out into the air and lighting up the courtyard trees, the band got high on the sight."

"RUFUS' live performance really brings out the summer dance party elements of their indie yacht electro."

"The guys have managed to sonically capture the ideals of warm nights, refreshing oceans and empty coastal highways."
