Speaker 1 (00:10):
All right, everybody, my next guest returning to the night show.
It's been a while since they've been here. A lot
of change for them, a lot of change for the
show and we're so I'm very happy to have Riffus
to Soul back in the studio. Hollo boys, so good, John, Tyrone, James.
What I love is my producer Grace gives me a
photo with your names.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Beautiful. Yeah, because I get change with many.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
You have changed your babies there, Yeah, yeah, Tyrone.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
The hair has changed. Yeah, I've lost a lot. You've
got to go to Turkey. Would you go to Turkey
and get that full hair transplanting? Because I would?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I would.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yeah, they do it all they do. Like teeth you
can get in one go teeth hair everything. Yeah, the
three t's tits if the hair transplant and a bunch
of that you like to transfers. You can tell that
I've researched.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, looked into it.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
A lot has happened for you guys. Brand new album
out this Friday, but also tomorrow in Sydney at the
Royal Potentical Gardens. You guys are doing I mean you're
doing a concert, but talk to me about this where
did this come from? Because I love the shows that
you guys do. You do it out and about. You've
done it right around the world, but here in Australia
in the potentical gardens.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
What is this? What's the show? What's happening?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Yeah, this just makes sense. It's good to come back
and be in front of austral and crowds, friends, family
at the start of summer. It just always is so
good to be back here around this time of year,
and to release the album and play some of these
new songs in that setting just seems pretty perfect. So
we jumped at the chance and yeah, we're doing a
bit more of a striped back show. It's going to know,
a sunset sort of show, so less lights and more
(01:37):
just about people being able to take in the music
on the harbor there.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
That's because the last one I saw was it Joshua Tree.
Did you do the National Park or did you do
the desert.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
In the US? We did.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
We did a filmed concert at Joshua Tree like five
years ago I think now. Yeah, but yeah, very lucky
that that landed and had this that it grew like
legs on its own. Yeah, people still come up to
us with stories about like how they were able to
watch that in different times in their life and how
it impacted We're like, wow, that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah, I was at Joshua Tree like five years ago.
I think I think I spoke to you before or after,
and i'd just been there. That place is is whack.
It's got such an energy. It's like you can feel
it when you're in Joshua Tree. Right, So there's something
weird going on here aliens or yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
Yeah, let's feel it. Yeah, there's something in the water there.
But the landscape is really wild. It does feel like
you're on Mars or something. Yeah, just the actual rocks
and the sky is so clear. It's like I think
normally it feels like a one degree in a view
of the sky, but there it's something more.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
It's like to.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Get more sky. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, feels like the earth.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Oh, you guys do that so well. I watched that,
loved it so less lights is it going to be
a paired back in the Sydney Show. It's going to
just be you guys new music. Is that what we're doing.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Yeah, it's be you know, we're very lucky to have
grown up in this beautiful city with the beautiful harbor.
So we want to utilize the harbor as the kind
of setting for playing a bunch of new stuff in
the album old stuff, new stuff, and you know, being
a little more intimate, you know, and so then just
having people be together. So many of my friends and
family are coming, like same for the guys that'd be
(03:07):
really nice to connect with.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, how good you get to like gloat on the
high school friend? Where'd you guys go to high school?
You've got local local boys?
Speaker 5 (03:14):
I went to Yeah, I mean I went to high
school not far from here, like a review that's like, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
You boys, far from here. Boys.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
My ex is a you boy and he would not
take the ring off, and I'm like, that's why we ended.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I might take the ring. Man, you're an adult unless
you guys are wearing the ringsry, what's a ring?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I didn't get a ring. I got no ring.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I was really he got a graduation ring and it
was his whole personality.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Wow, yeah, well they must give that to the special
one that doesn't check out for him. And where did
you go to school? I went to Joey's. A Joey's boy.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I like that oh, invite the friends and the teachers
that were really awful to you, invite them back.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
That's a great idea. Actually call out, well, they can
just jump up in the harbor there on a boat
and we'll get some people get on a.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Ferry him up and watch the Well. It's a beautiful venue.
You know, two icons at the Botanical Gardens. Our producer
Grace got married there this year.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
It was beautiful. Where are you doing it? I wonder
if it's in the same spot as they do the weddings.
Do you know where it is?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
It's it's when they do Harbor Life. I think here
one at that festival, but it's or it's just next.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
To Lady McCreary's.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah, but it's near its fleet steps, which is right.
That's so cool, guys. So I'm excited. I don't think
you can get tickets to that.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
That's like sold out, right, Yeah, but yeah, I don't
know whether we promote this whole boat turning up thing,
but there you go.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah, if you want to get on a fiery we're
surrounded by water. Yeah, just do it.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
You know, you've got to cheat the system somehow, and
that's the energy of proof is just sold you have yeah,
get on. Also, it's public park, Like if you're standing
around you can.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Hear right a sneak up.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
We'll see some paragliders above parashoes or people in sky risers.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
In God, if you work in the Sydney CBD and
you've got to like.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
A terrace, get out there the gardens Inhale Exil out
this Friday. That just calms me down, just hearing the
title inhal Exhale good?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Is that a point? Is that what we're trying to do?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Maybe it may ramp up, you know. There's the album
is it's a longer album than we've made previously. There's
almost a double arc to it. There's like a sort
of halfway chill out point in the middle. It's so
big that I feel like people could either take it
in in one go or make their own little journeys
out of it, or connect with different parts of it
at different parts of their life. It's really expansive, you know,
a more maximist record for us.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah, we're very happy with.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Well Break my Loves Out Now? Is it like Break
my Love? Is it the similar style or is it different?
Is that setting the tone for the album.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
I mean, so we've put out four songs. There's fifteen songs.
The first one is called Inhale, which is more like
an intro we've never done, like an intro song for
an album, and then the last one's called Exhale, And
I don't know, I guess the four singles span a
breadth of coverage, and I feel like the rest of
the record does the same, Like we explored a bunch
(05:54):
of different tempers and textures and yeah, like there's basically
the piano song on what it's one of the last
songs on the record, and I mean that's new for us,
and I feel like that's what we did a lot
on the record, is trying new things whilst also retaining
whatever it is that makes us rufous.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
You know.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Yeah, I think it's like the happy midway between the
three of us, three different guys, we like different things,
but there's some cross pollination and happy midway between the
three of us that ends up being a rufous song.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Do you guys remember the point that you realized, oh,
this is rufous, Like this is the sound or this
is what fans love. Because it would take time to
get there and your fans love your music or you've
got some really staunch fans. So is there a moment
or an album or a song that you were like, oh,
this is what we're going to do.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
I feel like the first time we were making music
together was really that moment. It was we're all doing
sort of different, separate things, and when we finally had
that moment, for me, it was when we collectively decided
this is the good middle ground between a bunch of
our influences. And then maybe the second time noticing that
was when we first played in a bloom I just
(07:04):
see that viscerally happen in front of us play it live.
I think at the Horden, no one had heard the
song before, and watching people just break down in tears,
multiple people, you know, and which is pretty rare for
a first time listen.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
So how are you guys out there performing watch is
that would be a crazy experience to be like, these
people are having an emotional response to the song.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
It's very powerful.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
But also you know the fact that we're often quite
backlit means that it does illuminate the audience and so
you can actually see these like very visceral reactions like
John saying, and yeah, I remember playing Innabalune for the
first time.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
It was crazy that song. It wasn't released at the time.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
We were like road testing it all of that and
just seeing people baoring and just having this emotional experience.
And we're very lucky that we get to experience that
when we do our live shows. There are people who
have lived with our music and have different connections to it,
and then we get to witness that and people get
to tell us these stories when we meet them, and
our fans are so beautiful and like respectful and always
have some amazing story about you know, how the song's
(07:56):
impacted them or you know, how they have a connection
to it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
So yah, yeah, very lucky.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Put on your boys like you're pumping it out. You
got back. When was the first album? Was it? It
was like twenty twelve? Was that the first album?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Because I went number one in Australia thirteen?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Was it twenty thirteen? What was it? You've had your
ten year anniversary?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Did you celebrate? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
We did.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Recently we just did a release package of Atlas as well.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Really yeah, broke back some old photos in that as well,
in a big vinyl package which was cool to see
some you know, amazing memories.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Of have you mellowed out the three of you like
you were boys, you'd have been kids ten years ago.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Yeah, yeah, were very different. Yeah, we've gone through a
lot of change. Yeah, it's been but it's been really cool.
Like I look back on those years, like the early
days and the whole process of getting to where we
are now so funly, like it was the funnest, funnest
finest ride. And I think that you know, we're older,
more mature, we have more responsibilities, and I think we're
(08:51):
healthier and happier and we're a better unit of friends
as well. But I don't know, I think that there's
a it's been a really cool journey for us, Like
even moving over to the US, that's a big step
for us, and going to LA it's like a washing
machine over there. You can get really sucked up in
the excitement of it, all of being and yeah, like Hollywood,
(09:13):
I guess, and yeah, then rediscovering our love for making
music and our friendship. And it's been a really cool
journey this last five years in particular, but our whole ride,
it's exciting.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Boys, it is well culminating this Friday Inhale Exhale out
tomorrow at the Potical Gardens. Have a great show, enjoy.
I'll be there from a ferry waving and you'll know
it's me. Oh you gos at Katie Perry.
Speaker 3 (09:39):

have you here.

healthier and happier and we're a better unit of friends
as well. But I don't know, I think that there's
a it's been a really cool journey for us, Like
even moving over to the US, that's a big step
for us, and going to LA it's like a washing
machine over there. You can get really sucked up in
the excitement of it, all of being and yeah, like Hollywood,

I guess, and yeah, then rediscovering our love for making
music and our friendship. And it's been a really cool
journey this last five years in particular, but our whole ride,
it's exciting.
