Chicago’s power trio Mind Rakes features vocalist/guitarist Fred Carli, bassist Tommy Rafferty, and drummer Dave Straka. Mixing classic and modern influences such as for example David Bowie, Hendrix, SUNSHINEY DAY PROPERTY, and Created to Spill, the group’s generating, melodic however quirky sound is certainly exemplified by their self-titled debut EP, which Human brain Rakes documented at Chicago’s renowned King Size studio room. The band shut out 2001 by carrying on to tour and record music for their initial full-length release.
