It's been a while since we had a new release from one of our favorite cowbell bangin' bands, The Rapture. While cooking up new dance hits in their makeshift studio, the band has announced that Mattie Shafer has left the band.
The good news is that The Rapture will be hitting the road in this Fall! Hopefully that includes a Los Angeles date in the very near future. See below from the message straight from The Rapture at the jump!
Dear Fans and friends,
I’ve been meaning to catch you up on what’ s been going on in Rapture world. First off, I’m sad to say that at the begining of April our buddy Mattie Safer decided to leave the band. We are sad to see him go but it seems it is the best for all of us. Since then Luke, Vito and I have been on a creative tear. We’ve been working out of our little Brooklyn make shift studio, writing, demoing and jamming. I’m pretty damn excited to share the fruits of our labor with you. But its still gonna be a minute before we hit the studio for real. On the other hand, I am very pleased to announce that the people of the great continent of Australia will be some of the first to hear some of our new material live, when we arrive late September for Parklife festival. In the meantime, keep an eye on this blog and another on your neighborhood dance party, who knows maybe we’ll be spinnin’.
Lotsa Love,
The Rapture
