Much sooner than the Olympic Games and the Football World Cup every 4 years, we have just updated this blog in 2 years time from the previous message. Funny how the time flies...
Anyway, this is by no means consistent from us towards the people who wish to know the news of this band and for that we owe you an apology. Rafferty Rules is not dead...
The band remains inactive for various reasons but as we last wrote in our Official Website, "it is not dead, what can eternally lie, yet with strange aeons, even death may die..." and this is entirely true. This band has been a major part of our soul, our friendships have grown stronger through it and they continue to grow every day that goes by, our youth is trapped in those tunes that we wrote, in the music we played, in the songs that you and us we both sang...
Rafferty Rules is not dead. Make no mistake about it. Anyone who has ever been in a band, anyone who "shared the ambition", anyone who has ever had "a vision left incomplete and undone" will read through these lines and understand that the passion still stands tall in our hearts... Yet a scary muddy path ours has been but hey, we are not complaining, we had a great time with all you guys out there and besides, "there never really was a plan from the start..."
...and you 'll say "where is the band without the music?"
And you 're right. Rafferty Rules had 3 brand new songs in line and a few more ready to come to life for a new full CD that we were planning to put out. It didn't happen. We hope in the future to manage to change that, to settle down, set our jobs and our lives aside for a while and go back to who we were, who we 've always wanted to be...
There is no promise in the above and no wishful thinking either. Only a hidden desire, the lust for the music and the people's eyes and the noise... That's all. And that's everything...
The keyboard is a sad way of making communication with you guys.
The mic is not.
The guitar, the bass and the drums are not.
Regardless what the future will bring, let us hope that even for a split second of time in the future, we will somehow manage to change that.
Thank you for reading.
Jon on behalf of Rafferty Rules.
