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

you reaaaally should play a small show in brooklyn before leaving. really.
When I first read this I seriously had to cry briefly, then I watched the Love Is All Video three times in a row and gave some thought to it… I’ll really miss Mattie, his breakup from the band also means the end of the Line-Up that created one of my personal all-time top 3 Albums (Pieces Of The People We Love) and other great songs that are part of the soundtrack of my life… and I’ll never get the chance to see this particular Line-Up live. Damn, sometimes I hate changes.
But I don’t want to sound too negative. You guys will have your reasons and I wish you all the best. Thank you for everything, but if it’s time to move on now… I’m looking forward to the new stuff. : )
All I can say is that totally sucks. Oh well, I’m sure your future stuff will be just good!
