In anticipation of the tour, the band has released the DESERT NIGHT EP, which is available digitally today at all DSPs. The EP includes hit single "Desert Night" along with remixes of the song by Kastle and Groundislava, as well as "Modest Life" (see full track list below). "Desert Night" and "Modest Life" will be included on the band's forthcoming full length album ATLAS, set for release in the U.S. later this year. Check out the official video for "Desert Night" HERE.

ATLAS debuted at #1 on the national ARIA chart upon its release in Australia last year, and was nominated for two ARIA awards for Best Dance Release and Breakthrough Artist of the Year. The band has received much praise for their debut, with MTV Hive noting, "Australian indie-dance juggernaut RUFUS are poised for a worldwide breakout...nobody can deny their infectious results."

Hailing from Sydney, Australia, three-piece RUFUS DU SOL has risen from obscurity to the forefront of Australian indie dance acts. The band has garnered international recognition on the back of driving, catchy, danceable tunes, a killer live show, and a dedicated online following. The band have put together four EPs in addition to debut album ATLAS, remixed a plethora of tracks and played parties, shows and festivals from Sydney to New York City to Moscow.

RUFUS DU SOL is: Tyrone Lindqvist (guitar), Jon George (keyboard) & James Hunt (drums)
