The Rubens have gifted fans with another incredibly catchy single ‘Masterpiece’ – a song about retrospectively realising you lost The One (“know I got it wrong, really all along, you were just a masterpiece”). Matching the same slick sonic palette as single ‘Live In Life’, ‘Masterpiece’ – also lifted from the band’s forthcoming new album 0202 (Feb 12) – is an irresistible dance across alt-rock, rnb, pop and hip hop genres, colliding into a sound that’s now uniquely their own.
Following the recent second postponement of the band’s ‘Live In Life’ tour due to COVID-19, their biggest headline tour to date, the tour was rebranded to the 0202 Album Tour. The new dates, taking place from April – June, 2021, will see the NSW band play metro cities for the first time since their 2018 LO LA RU album shows as well as regional venues across the 24-date run.
