The Rubens, The Panics Kick Off Summer Series ‘Rotto Live’

Quality Aussie rockers The Rubens and The Panics will be splitting the bill at Hotel Rottnest this December, for the first in a series of summer gigs under the banner of Rotto Live.

Last we heard from The Rubens, frontman Sam Margin paired with Heidi Lenffer (Cloud Control) to cover the Arctic Monkeys’ I Wanna Know? for SBS music show RocKwiz. Currently The Rubens are bunkered down in New York, working on the follow-up to their self-titled 2012 debut, so let’s hope to hear some new material.

A mainstay in the WA music scene, The Panics have been producing quality tunes for over a decade.. Their last LP, Rain On The Humming Wire, followed on from the well-received 2007 album Cruel Guards. Single Don’t Fight It found its way onto that year’s triple Hottest 100, coming in at #10.

Rotto Live is the concept of local promoters Zaccaria. Zaccaria members can purchase pre-sale tickets here, from 10am Wednesday, 22nd October. General public tickets go on sale from 9am Monday, 27th October. Tickets are $65 + BF. Full details below.
