Drummer James Hunt shares how Live From Joshua Tree came together: "The idea for a film was born out of a writing trip in Joshua Tree when we were trying to finish SOLACE. We stayed up all night writing as the sun rose, this creeping light over the valley made its way into the room. We climbed these wild rock formations to a little vista at the top, about 100 feet above where we were writing, and sat to take in the sunrise. We were listening to tunes on a speaker and someone put on ‘Time’ by the Pachanga Boys. Watching dawn break with this epic 15 minute journey playing out, we started joking about putting together a sunrise set in the desert where we would play to no one. People talk a lot of shit in the desert at 5am, but walking around this alien world at dawn, we definitely felt there was something calling us back out there. So over an 18 month period, we workshopped ideas and locations and finally were able to put time aside to shoot in September last year. It was decided sunset would be more practical for our crew. We originally planned for it to be a live stream, but as the idea grew and the production got bigger and bigger, it organically morphed into a film. It’s something that’s taken two years to pull together and something we are so excited to share with the world and make available everywhere.”

The trio held their sold-out world premiere screening in Los Angeles on February 18th 2020 for over 400 fans, friends and family to witness the immersive live experience at the iconic Vista Theatre. Additional intimate screenings will be announced soon, with the live album and film set for worldwide release on March 6.

The monumental release of RÜFÜS DU SOL’s first-ever motion picture and live album arrives at the head of their 2020 World Tour, seeing the band travel around the globe with a brand new production. Following more than a year of sold-out shows to half a million fans, RÜFÜS DU SOL will take to renowned venues and leading festival stages including Masonic Temple in Detroit, Germania Insurance Amphitheater in Austin, two nights at Red Rocks in August, and slots on Okeechobee, M3F, CRSSD, Corona Capital, Governors Ball, and more. Amidst their live run, they’ve been committed to supporting the bushfire relief efforts in every way they can. This month they’re hosting a fundraiser in partnership with CRSSD benefitting the RSPCA Bushfire Appeal.
