What were your highlights from the tour?
Byron and Fremantle are two of our favourite places to visit anywhere in the world, [as well as] last night’s show at The Enmore. We’ve always wanted to do our own show there. It’s such a special space. So to do two shows there in our home town with all our friends, family and fans who have been coming to our shows for 3 years now… it’s hard to describe. Good feels.
What’s something you learned from playing alongside Cut Copy?
Those guys are pros. They know how lucky they are to be able to play music for a living – you can see it in the performances they give. They are on point every night. It’s awesome to see that.
How did you develop the idea of the lighting backdrop with ENESS? What was the concept behind it?
We wanted to do something unique for this tour. The idea of putting something exciting on stage that compliments the music was something we had been talking about for a long time. We were speaking to the guys at Red Bull about potential concepts and they got involved and supported us. They put us in contact with the ENESS team. From there the ENESS guys sent us a bunch of different ideas and designs and we worked with them on refining the concept.
How are you going to top it for your next tour?
That’s a pretty intimidating concept haha. We need to write another album before we decide what touring it might involve.
What would you guys do with an infinite budget for stage design?
Build the world’s biggest confetti cannon and laser show. Potentially involving 3D glasses with an IMAX theatre.
Where to now for RÜFÜS?
We’re having a couple of weeks off between River Sessions and Splendour. Then we’re touring the northern hemisphere and starting work on new material. Trying to do a few months writing in foreign cities before coming home for the Australian summer and maybe one or two shows. This place is definitely home.
