THE RUBENS SECOND METRO THEATRE SELLS OUT + SIX NEW REGIONAL SHOWS ANNOUNCED
+ TIME OUT SYDNEY BAR AWARDS + LANEWAY FESTIVAL
It’s pretty safe to say that the album tour from everyone’s favourite Menangle dudes, THE RUBENS, is shaping up to be a slam-dunk. With the 2nd Metro Theatre show now SOLD OUT, Ivy League are psyched to announce the addition of 6 more regional dates! The boys want to share the love and share it they shall.
Sam Margin recently said of the tour thus far “We’ve all been blown away by the response to the record and it’s been great to play these sold out shows with everyone knowing the lyrics now”.
Time Out Sydney called The Rubens’ first Metro Theatre show in September a “faultless performance”. So faultless they asked the band to headline their Time Out Bar Awards. If the best food and drinks that Sydney has to offer isn’t enough, this year the Time Out team have pulled out all the stops and are throwing this hot ticket event at Cockatoo Island. We suggest you do yourselves a favour and GO… and get the Monday off work. Good food, good drinks and now excellent music, the headache will be worth it.
That’s not it! Along with supporting The Black Keys on their sold out New Zealand tour, The Rubens will also be making their way back around Australia touring with St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival in 2013. The band is stoked to be playing one of their favourite summer festivals as well as hitting the road with super BFF label-mates, Alpine, who are also on the bill.
