Rafter (Dec 22, 2008)

Rafter came through town this weekend to play Cake Shop (1/31) and then DJ Union Pool (the same night). Cake Shop was decorated in streamers because it was THE WORLD’S BIRTHDAY PARTY…

ANYONE ON THE NIGHT OF OUR FIRST
“THE WORLD’S BIRTHDAY PARTY” (1/31)
who is born in THE MONTH OF JANUARY (and is over 21), gets
FREE ADMISSION, FREE CAKE, a LITTLE GIFT from us to you at the door,
and 2 drink tickets!!
each party will be different in its own way, but rest assured it will be all about YOU.
WE DIDN’T FORGET!

we will be doing this every month for the rest of our existence!!
EACH FORTHCOMING MONTH will be curated by someone
who CAKESHOP would consider AWESOME and
also born in that month, that would construct an
dream bill of their own for themselves &
everyone else!

This show was curated by Derek Evers of Impose. Anamanaguchi was also on the bill. Rafter was accompanied by a drummer. More pictures below…
