Guess What Rufus Will be Called in North America?

Turns out indie-dance lads Rufus, who we’ve been touring around Australia with for Big Day Out and pals Red Bull, aren’t taking naming rights to North America due to some legal issues with the band’s name. Trademark’s a bitch right?

Instead of rocking out with just the accented U’s the band will add a little extra oomph to their name tagging themselves as ‘Rufus Du Sol’ before playing a string of dates through the US and Canada to celebrate the release of their ‘Deserts Nights’ EP (out today yanks) and a big up yours to legal mumbo jumbo.

The guys aren’t actually too fussed and already having a little bond with the name sharing the news fans on Facebook;

North America we’re coming for you! Today our Desert Night EP is out in the U.S with dope remixes from Groundislava & Kastle. Also, if you’re confused about the poster, we’re going to be known as RÜFÜS DU SOL in North America only…because trademark is a serious bitch. We vibe the name though, so all is good  Anyway, we’d love if you could @tag your friends in the U.S if we’re coming to their city! P.S We’re still RÜFÜS in the rest of the world  Love.x

There are also rumours in the works of some solo DJ careers spawning along with the ‘Du Sol’ name. Time will tell though, for now our US and Canadian fans should get along to any of the dates below including SXSW and even Miami’s Winter Music Conference.
