The Rapture @ Studio B: My My My, My Mustang Ford
That's what 700 people were chanting last night as The Rapture performed 'First Gear', the second in their three-song 'mini-set'.
The show, all 15 minutes of it, was spectacular. The set went: Don Gon Do It/First Gear/Olio. It'd be near impossible to find a more eager crowd, as we patiently but anxiously awaited The Rapture's arrival (somewhere around 1:30 AM). The focus of the night was to unveil The Rapture's upcoming Throne Of Blood record label (more info here!), with DJs spinning (including The Rapture) all night long. And goodiebags at the end! Can't beat that.
Matt, Luke and the rest of the gang sounded flawless and it was painfully obvious to see that all in attendance were eating out of the band's respective palms.
At one point, Luke even jumped into the crowd and surfed around for a few minutes (I believe it was during 'Olio'). Amazing.
Some more photos for your viewing pleasure...
Long live The Rapture. My hometown heroes.

It sounds awesome! I saw them in Atlanta a few weeks ago. They had an amazing 70 minute set and then DJed for a few hours at an afterparty and it was easily one of my favorite music nights ever! I can't wait to see them again.
