After much deliberation we have come to the shared conclusion that we can't give it 100% anymore and regret to announce that The Rakes are calling it a day. We are sorry to let down all the people who were coming to see us on the UK & US tours. Writing your own obituary is a surreal thing to do but we want to give particular thanks to our much-loved fans, all the great people we've worked with over the years, our management and loyal record label. We feel privileged to have had the opportunity to write music together and perform around the world. Genuinely, thanks for the good times.... That was one hell of a party! But now, we really must get some sleep.
The Rakes 3rd and final full length album KLANG is set for US release on ITUNES Tuesday October 27.
Produced within the four walls of a former DDR radio station in East Berlin, 'Klang', has been available as a UK import since March. It's been over two years since their previous album, 'Ten New Messages' (2007) and The Rakes have created their freshest, most innovative album to date.
