Spawned from a little-known San Francisco synthesizer group called The Calculators, which included Vito Roccoforte on drums and Luke Jenner on vocals and guitar, The Rapture was born when those two broke off to form a duo of their own. Greatly influenced by the 80s British band Gang of Four, the group is to a large degree responsible for the post-punk revival seen at the turn of the millennium. The group made waves with their minimalist, funky baselines, abrasive, rocking guitar riffs, and barked vocals, and created a new wave electroclash revolution seen on dance floors worldwide. They created a name for themselves by touring massively with their energetic live show before they ever even released their first EP, MIRROR, which came out in 1999. Their lineup saw the addition of Gabe Adruzzi (saxophone) and bass player Matt Safer at this point, and by the time their debut album ECHOES received a major-label release on Mercury Records in 2003, The Rapture were minor superstars. This new release features live footage of a show the band played at the Bowery Ballroom, a small venue in the band's hometown of New York; the group gets even the notoriously static New York hipsters to shake it with their lineup that includes Pop Song, Sister Savior, Our of the Races and Onto the Tracks, Echo, and of course their anthemic smash hit House of Jealous Lovers.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33
