One minute they're driving along, happy as Larry, the next, their bassist has been whisked into the ether for the promise of better things. Which reminds us, we had a friend called Larry once: shot himself. Matt Safer has left The Rapture after around nine years with the band.

Hot Biscuits has the info.The Rub is a DJ trio — Ayres, Cosmo Baker, and DJ Eleven — that throws one of my favorite dance parties in the universe the first Saturday of each month at Southpaw in Brooklyn, and they're just one of several excellent reasons to attend Branded on Friday night at The Congress.

What's with The Rapture? ...Huh? ...Meep.Sheeeeeeeesh... Gone from uber-darlings of the skinny-tie-dance-punk-ethos (NB: I-like-hyphens) with what was quite possibly the most played single of the genre - "House of Jealous Lovers" - to backlash lepers in one album (Echoes).And NOW, they're releasing singles with videos that reference Kool & the Gang (and Jessica Simpson, if I were to be nasty) a...

Never fully fell for them, especially seeing
