I saw them a couple of times, but I was never really impressed, Their jams dont go anywhere. They\'re kinda poppy, Im just no too thrilled. Someone sent me a link of them doing Echidna\'s Arf (cause they thought it was sick) Which it is, and is amazingly difficult to play. Raq didnt do so hot on it. Then I sent them the breakfast link, and they were blown away. This kid thinks Raq is the best band on the planet too.

Their guitarist now plays a telecaster too..........hmmmm Identity crisis?

My two cents..............

RAQ is definitely a bit sloppy in the guitar, and definitely not as tight in the rhythm section. They still put on a decent rock and roll show in my book, but The Breakfast they ain\'t.

didn\'t Michetti train with some dude that used to give lessons to Mr. Trey Anastasio?? Stoops is nasty when it comes to the keys. I like when those dudes play dead tunes in Liquid Dead..

Identity crisis.

That\'s about it.

Put them in the same bin as Particle - competent, but uninspiring - fine for a support band. At least they write some half-decent tunes, though they\'re a bit derivative from what I\'ve listened too off the lma. When they were on the same bill as the boys, the PB/Raq jam was good.
