BONUS EP (Our Rug Island Era and JOFF BUSH!)

Skip out on work and bring your connector pens - it's RUG ISLAND DAY! 

The THIRD album from Bluey maestro Joff Bush and his glorious music team is out globally today (25 October 2024) wherever you get your music (and even on vinyl!)

So of course Mary and Kate were going to drag out the wagon and skive off work Bandit-style, to ask Joff about how this journey into playful imagination came together (it started with a Cafe play-date, and ended with new friends!)

From collaborating with Arnhem Land legends King Stingray, to who you can ask to make octopus sound-effects, how Joe Brumm and Costa Kassab delivered the artistic inspo to tie it all together, and why Muffin deserves her own breakout album - Joff shares the all the antics that made Rug Island such joyful perfection, and what's left over for the next album too!

Plus, congrats on new dad life Joff - Gotta Be Done gets the exclusive on Joff-tested tunes to sooth your small people!
