The Rakes uit elkaar
oktober 22nd, 2009 | by Deadstar |
De Engelse band The Rakes gaat uit elkaar. Dit heeft de band in een statement aan NME laten weten. lan Donohoe, Matthew Swinnerton, Jamie Hornsmith en Lasse Petersen hebben aangegeven direct de stekker uit The Rakes te trekken. Een opvalend besluit, want er stond een tour door Engeland en Amerika gepland. Deze tour is dan ook afgelast. The Rakes werd opgericht in 2004 en bracht drie albums uit ‘Capture/Release‘ in 2005, ‘Ten New Messages‘ in 2007 en ‘Klang‘ aan het begin van dit jaar. Het statement van de band is hieronder te lezen.
“The Rakes have always been very adamant and proud of the fact that we give 100 per cent to every gig we’ve ever played. If we can’t give it everything then we won’t do it. That was the rule we set ourselves from day one. After much deliberation we have come to the shared conclusion that we can’t give it 100 per cent any more and regret to announce that The Rakes are calling it a day.”
“Writing your own obituary is a surreal thing to do,” they said in the statement. “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.”
