The Rubens

Be humble, certainly did, because he didn't win it with King Kunta.

I think the Rubens beat him, which, you know, I love the Rubens, but King Kunta was the best song of that year.

Declan, I want to throw out a Triple J conspiracy theory that I've heard.

I actually haven't had one today, so thank you, because it's most days I get them.

Seven Australian acts.

Seven.

Well, you just said the Rubens.

Rubens, yep.

Chuck.

I'm with the Rubens.

From Menangle.

I'm going to go for the Rubens.

Why wouldn't you just roll out a really good Aussie band? I don't know who

they

are.

You don't know who the Rubens are? No.

I

love the Rubens.

I love them so much.

They're about to release their sixth studio album.

It's a very personal album too.

You were saying a lot about what Tones and I was doing with her music.

I know the boys from the Rubens put a lot into this new album too, a very personal, sick studio album.

It makes for

It will hold its Open Day Fest on Saturday from 10am to 3pm, which Mr Shorten has pitched as a chance for the wider community to join prospective students in getting to know the university.

Highlights of the open day include a performance at 12.30pm by rock band The Rubens, a wood chopping exhibition, children's activities and a range of food and drink.

Free shuttle buses will also run to Floriade, which opens on Saturday.

And that was our front page picture story from the Canberra Times.

Now we're going to finish up our show with a couple of more modern tracks now.

The next band we have up is The Rubens.

Everyone in my head now Can get out I don't wanna be let down So I float around Remember the day my feet found Solid ground Thought I couldn't see a way out When I saw you I saw you I saw you I saw you black balloon black balloon Throw the clothes in the bathtub Fill it half up Stains from painting grass and mud Beach in a cup All good things go barely up I had enough Cause I forgot what I was trying to do Fight for you Fight for you Black Balloon, Black Balloon, Black Balloon.

Things get heavy at the wrong time.

The song was Believer and they're touring lots at the moment with this new album.

So catch them up if you can.

And before that, the band was the Rubens and the song was Black Balloon.

And they're a band from Sydney, a band of three brothers and two mates in this indie rock band.
