Hunt and the group are currently revelling in the reception that Surrender has received. It’s people adjourning with others but not in a physical space which is really cool.” “They’re duetting with other people and it’s very collaborative. “I’ve discovered a lot of my favourite drummers, analogue synth nerds, and guitarists on TikTok,” he reveals. There was the Glass Animals song, “Heatwave”, that I think TikTok was instrumental in making as big as it is.”Īs an electronic musician, keeping up with new technology is something Hunt and his bandmates always engage in. “You see songs breaking out all the time and becoming big. “It’s become a very universal medium for discovering music,” Hunt notes. The partnership with TikTok feels key, given its increasing power as a music platform. Given that it was all ripped away from everyone for 18 months makes this Aus Music Month really special.” “With restrictions now being lifted, it means that artists are able to play shows again and venues are able to operate again. “Now more than ever it’s the comeback season,” Hunt says. It’s just recognising that Australia has such a big music culture and a really rich scene.”Īnd with the country’s music industry being so disrupted since the pandemic, it feels like this Aus Music Month is arguably the most important one yet. “I think Aus Music Month is a great celebration of everything that’s coming out of the country, all the burgeoning and exciting acts that are still undiscovered.
“There’s so much good music (in Australia) and I think the world’s cottoning on that now,” Hunt insists. RÜFÜS DU SOL were only too happy to help out for this year’s Aus Music Month after their own recent successes abroad. “On one of the nights we played there, which we luckily managed to capture in our TikTok live stream, there was lightning flashing in the distance and it came on during one of our darker songs too, which was incredible.” When we’ve seen shows performed there in the past, it’s just looked so scenic.” In a moment that must have felt fated, nature provided some background pyrotechnics. You’re basically looking up from the stage, it’s very vertical. “It was very surreal, it almost felt like a dream. “We were a little nervous that our first show back was there (Red Rocks), this iconic venue,” drummer James Hunt says. The livestream will feature a performance from Colorado’s stunning Red Rock Amphitheater, a venue that holds special meaning for the group. The expansive Surrender Tour is the most recent live performance announcement to come from band since wrapping up a double-weekender at Sundream Tulum, Rufus Du Sol’s debut destination event that brought world-class music and wellness to an international crowd of music enthusiasts at Papaya Playa Project in Quintana Roo, MX.The first of those TikTok Live shows is by electronic trio RÜFÜS DU SOL, who released their fourth album, Surrender, two weeks ago.
