The Rubens Announce Wine Collab + Syd Show With Built-To-Spill Wine + Fourth Album ‘0202’ – Out Next Fri 12 Feb!

by the partae
To celebrate the release of their fourth album 0202 next Friday 12 February, The Rubens have announced they’ll be collaborating with the fine wine merchants at Built to Spill Wine, to bring fans the band’s very own 0202 Cabernet Pet Nat! The limited-edition wine, personally selected by the band, will be available to pre-order on its own, via album bundles or a ticket bundle option for the band’s just-announced, unbelievably intimate Sydney show at Crowbar next Wed 10 Feb. Tickets are on sale now and extremely limited, so fans are encouraged to get in quick! After many taste tests with the band, the Built to Spill Wine team paired the indie-pop genre benders with Ryan O'Meara of Express Winemakers, who delivers some of the freshest juice to come out of the Great Southern. O’Meara concocted this effervescent little release from healthy cabernet grapes with gentle pressing to make it light and finished it pet nat style; naturally sparkling, unnaturally delicious. It is a wild fruited fizzer, plenty of blood orange upfront, like a San Pell Aranciata Rossa with layers of watermelon granita, refreshing herbal notes and a crunchy, dry finish. Speaking of the collaboration, frontman Sam Margin says: “We’re so bloody excited to have collaborated with Built to Spill Wine and Express Winemakers to bring you our 0202 Cabernet Pet Nat. It’s yum as and it’s got bubbles, so it’s the perfect bottle to pop in celebration of our new album 0202!” This week the band also kick off their Album Launch Series – a 6-date run of regional NSW starting in Bathurst this Thurs Feb 4, followed by Morton (Fri Feb 5), Tamworth (Thurs Feb 11), Dubbo (Fri Feb 12), Port Macquarie (Sat Feb 13) before finishing in Thirroul on Fri Feb 20. Cementing their status as a band that continues to evolve as songwriters and push the boundaries of alternative rock/pop, new album 0202 – featuring hits ‘Live In Life’, ‘Time Of My Life’, ‘Heavy Weather’ & current single ‘Masterpiece’ (on high triple j rotation and climbing up the Shazam charts) – is a forward-thinking album for a backward year, and an exciting new chapter for The Rubens celebrating the five-piece at their creative peak. A huge testament to their unwavering talent and ability to constantly reinvent themselves, 0202 marks the start of yet another exciting chapter for the band. “We’re so bloody proud of this album and the way we created it, and we can’t believe how lucky we are to have made it this far. Thanks to all our fans for being there, we can’t wait for you to hear this one!” THE RUBENS Wed-Feb-10-21 | Crowbar, Sydney Tickets on sale here THE RUBENS 0202 ALBUM LAUNCH SHOWS 2021 For more details, head to therubensmusic.com Thu-Feb-04-21 | Bathurst, NSW | Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre Fri-Feb-05-21 | Morton, NSW | The Barn On The Ridge Thu-Feb-11-21 | Tamworth, NSW | Tamworth Town Hall Fri-Feb-12-21 | Dubbo, NSW | Dubbo Convention Centre Sat-Feb-13-21 | Port Macquarie, NSW | Port Macquarie Glasshouse Sat-Feb-20-21 | Thirroul, NSW | Anita's Theatre 0202 The Rubens Album out Friday 12 February 2021 through Ivy League Records Available to pre-order here 0202 tracklisting: 1.
