Overview
Punk-disco stars The Rapture played a benefit gig at New York venue Crash Mansion on June 11 under a pseudonym.
Billed as 'Druzzi's Wyld Stallyns (Ex-DFA)', the band played the 350-capacity venue to raise money for a friend's treatment for brain cancer.
The Rapture are currently working on the follow-up to 2003's 'Echoes' and have recorded some of the album with Gnarls Barkley member and Gorillaz producer Danger Mouse in LA. The album is expected in the autumn.
