Rabble Rabble

Rabble Rabble is a psych punk band from Chicago, IL. Their origins trace back to short lived musicprojects between Todd McCafrey, Ralph Darski and Kaylee Preston in the mid 00's. Multiple line upchanges and two names later the group was set. In 2008 the new formed Rabble Rabble consisting offRalph Darski (Guitar, Bass, Vocal), Todd McCafrey (Guitar, Bass, Vocal), Kaylee Preston (Drums) andMatt Ciarleglio (Bass, Guitar, Vocal) hit the Chicago music scene.Focusing their attention on the blossoming underground DIY music venues, the band brought theirinfectious blend of garage punk and psychedelia to basements and lofts of Chicago. Quickly gaining areputation for their raucous energized performances the band set out to record their first EP. Aftersetting up a make shift studio in their practice space and spending the dead of winter recording,“Jailbait” was released in March of 2009 on the band's newly formed Commune Records (Laterrereleased as a tape on the Plus Tapes Label).After continuing their roll of multiple Chicago shows each month Rabble Rabble got together withtheir sister band The Great Society Mind Destroyers recorded a spit demo, cramped 9 people into aconversion van and hit the road for a two week tour. Upon returning Rabble Rabble spent no timerelaxing and hit the Chicago bar scene full force while still rocking the basements. In November 2009Rabble Rabble was voted band of the Month by the Deli Magazine Chicago and scored some freestudio time, recording two songs. Looking back at 2009 the band realized they played over 100 showsand needed to release a live EP. So they did and called it live 2009. While having those two studiorecorded tracks in the bag the band decided to roll out the mattresses and begin recording in theirpractice space once again.Although in the midst of recording Rabble Rabble did not slow their roll on shows in 2010. Theywanted their record to represent their live shows and the only way to stay in the live mind frame was tokeeping playing live. Rabble Rabble finished recording and production of their first full length album“Bangover” in March 2010. Hoping to make this a vinyl release the band pitched the record to manylabels and while gaining interest the time frame for release was much to far from what Rabble Rabblehad in mind. So they split the cost and got the record pressed themselves putting it out on their veryown Commune Records label which till then was strictly doing CDR releases.Come summer 2010 Rabble Rabble released their debut LP and loaded the van once again . Setting outfor a three week long tour taking them to venues like The Middle East in Boston and CoCo 66 in NewYork. While in New York Rabble Rabble met up with Stephen George formerly of Ministry andknocked out a 18 hour full studio session leading to a digital and 7” single release on Gimme thatSound Productions in the spring of 2011.Upon returning from tour the band slowed down a bit playing live, becoming more selective withshows and focusing on new material as well as planing their March 2011 SxSW trip and another liverelease. If one thing is clear Rabble Rabble have found their jet stream and are along for the ride
