The Rakes

I was hoping to see these guys later in the month, but they've called it quits and canceled their tour.

It's a shame they didn't do more. When Capture-Release came out in 2005, it was part of a ridiculous good and fun music year. In that context, I thought they were great. Their music by itself though didn't have great legs to keep me coming back for more. I think the lack of great writing let them down.

You're write about the song writing, but I think their music has enough chops to be a fun live band.
