"This is the biggest headlining show we've ever played -- thank you for making this happen," Rüfüs du Sol lead singer Tyrone Lindqvist announced to a sold-out crowd at the Los Angeles State Historic Park on Saturday night. The amazement in his voice was visceral -- a humble expression of gratitude from the Australian trio who now reside in Venice Beach.
The first slices of autumn chilled the air as the crowd of collegiate types danced to the group's latest singles and biggest hits including "Be With You," "Lost In My Mind," Innerbloom" and other tracks from the trio's 2016 sophomore LP. The crowd was peppered with women wearing fairy wings and LED lights, a sort of festie-lite mash-up with the bros in backward caps.
"I have a son, he's 3 months old, and while we were at Red Rocks, he was rushed to the hospital," Lindqvist told the crowd. "It was the scariest six hours of my life. Thank god he's OK, I'm so grateful. Grateful to these two guys onstage with me, and to all of you." He then metaphorically invited his son into the space and instructed the crowd to also imagine the spirits of anyone who should be there but couldn't be.
It was also a nice dose of West Coast spiritualism that further established that while Rüfüs is an Australian act playing gigs worldwide, their time living in the Golden State has had a profound effect on both their outlook and output. Later in the night, Lindqvist offered insight into how they picked the songs that landed on. "We drove the Pacific Coast Highway listening to all the songs we'd recorded, both in the day and at night," he said.
California loves them as well, as evidenced by fans singing every word to every song until they closed the show with "No Place." "There's no place I'd rather be," we all sang in unison, and in that moment for everyone both offstage and, that sentiment felt very much true.
RufusDuSol I don’t understand how the writer says “the experience may not be life-changing”, yet before and after that sentence details just how powerful the band’s music and energy is. Rufus is one of the most moving bands in the world, hands down.
