THE RAPTURE
New York band The Rapture first found fame in the UK, where their avant garde sound gathered a huge following. Luke Jenner (Vocals/Guitar) and Vito Roccoforte (Drums) formed the band in 1998 and released their debut album "Mirror" the same year. After several member changes, they arrived at their current lineup in 1999, when they met with Matt Safer (Bass/Vocals) at a gig in Washington DC. They are part of the DFA Records crew and the DFA-produced album "Out of the Races and Onto the Tracks" was released on Sub Pop Records in 2001. During this time Gabriel Andruzzi, who worked on production of that album, joined the band as an official member. In 2003 they signed a worldwide deal with leading underground label Vertigo, from which they released the long-player "Echoes". The following year the track "House of Jealous Lovers", from that same album, became a global hit. They played a live gig at the Prada store in New York for last year's Fashion's Night Out event organized by VOGUE. Their thrilling sound, which recalls the energy of bands like Suicide and Joy Division, as well as a their hardcore spirit and new generation post-punk sensibility makes them one of the world's most highly respected bands.
