Please diregard our prior post about this concert (Rafter at Rontoms!!) while it is still going on, as it turns out, you are all welcome in free… whether you tipped well or not!!!

“For his live show, Rafter is prepping a set of “all-upbeat-dance-confusion-weirdness.” He’ll play guitar and sing and Andy Robillard (Enon, Gogogo Airheart) will play drums, samples and do some vocals. They will play all the songs on the Sweaty Magic EP, plus some revved up versions of tracks from older albums. His live shows are always different and always risky and for these specific performances, his goal is to get the entire audience to dance with him.” 

-Read on for concert details and MP3s!-

Just to give you guys another perspective, the songs on Rafter’s Sweaty Magic EP perfectly encapsulate their respective titles, which range from “Juicy” to “Salt” and even include “Magic” and “Sweat“.  What began as an art project has transformed into what the press release is calling, “the perfect wake up call from winter hibernation.”  If this much can be said about the EP itself (and it can), just imagine what it will be like when its brought to life live. 

What’s better than a free show?  Well… one in which Draggin an Ox Through Water opens!  No seriously free. We’re suddenly not so worried about missing Marissa Nadler!
