Beloved Aussie electronic trio RÜFÜS DU SOL has announced the release of their live film, ‘Live from Joshua Tree’ and accompanying live album. The film will premiere alongside Chemical Brothers’ ‘DON’T THINK’ documentary during two special screenings in both Sydney and Melbourne on March 4th.
Showing at both Melbourne IMAX and Randwick Ritz Cinemas, Sydney, the screenings will donate all proceeds to the Red Cross in order to aid Australia’s bushfire relief.
‘RÜFÜS DU SOL: Live from Joshua Tree’ is set to bring the trio’s renowned live show to the big screen. A glimpse at the trailer reveals an immersive and awe-inspiring experience set in the Great American West.
The concept came from the band “started joking about putting together a sunrise set in the desert where we would play to no one. People talk a lot of shit in the desert at 5 am, but walking around this alien world at dawn, we definitely felt there was something calling us back out there,” said drummer James Hunt.
“So, over an 18 month period, we workshopped ideas and locations and finally were able to put time aside to shoot in September last year. It was decided sunset would be more practical for our crew. We originally planned for it to be a live stream, but as the idea grew and the production got bigger and bigger, it organically morphed into a film. It’s something that’s taken two years to pull together and something we are so excited to share with the world and make available everywhere.”
Simply put, this is an unmissable Australian music experience.
