Nominated for the Album of the Year 2013 back on September 10th 2013 Rufus brought the Party with their debut Atlas. Hailing from sunny old Sydney the trio formed in 2010 and released their debut EP in 2011. They were the darlings of Triple J Unearthed back in the day and then came "Take Me". It was an anthem and their first commercial smash.
The album dropped along with "Desert Night" and the album debuted at number one on the ARIA charts on the 18th of August 2013.
Rufus will also be nominated and archived:
Excellent contribution to Australian music in 2013
They have also had one appearance in the 201 best tunes of 2013:
159 - Rufus - Tonight
I have a sneaking suspicion the trio will have a few more numbers in my second part 100 all the way down to 1. That will be published right here on Australia Day or the day after depending if I am not celebrating another day of drinking and public displays of stupidity in Sydney or another capital city.
Well done to Rufus, they are one of four acts up for the Party Starter Album of 2013. Winner announced Australia Day AM.
Until then stay tuned for a nod to the last two nominations (Rudimental and Kanye) and more Australian Acts named and well not shamed, honoured maybe in the Excellent Contribution to Australian Music in 2013 list.
