Australian alt-rock favourites The Rubens return with their vibrant new single Goanna, a sun-soaked indie-pop gem that marks the start of an exciting new chapter—and a special run of regional shows.
Blending their signature groove-driven sound with bright melodies and undeniable hooks, Goanna captures the chaos and chemistry of connection. Written by keyboardist Elliott Margin, the track explores “two chaotic people holding each other up - the wheels have come off, the car’s on fire, but the radio is still on.” It’s this balance of raw emotion and infectious energy that continues to define The Rubens’ evolution.
Since forming in Menangle in 2011, the band—Zaac, Sam and Elliott Margin, alongside Scott Baldwin and William Zeglis—have become one of Australia’s most beloved live acts. With multiple ARIA certifications, a #1 album (0202), and the iconic Hoops taking out triple j’s Hottest 100, their catalogue has now amassed over 400 million streams worldwide.
Renowned for their electric live shows and crowd-wide singalongs, The Rubens are heading to regional stages to bring Goanna to life. Expect a high-energy set packed with new music, fan favourites, and the moments that have built a deep connection with audiences right across the country.
The Club Sapphire show in Merimbula is proudly supported by the Great Southern Nights initiative.
