We were invited to go on the ItsInQueens Podcast and play a song for them! What's even cooler was that they were filming inside of Resorts World Casino! To say we had a blast would be an understatement, BUT we had to celebrate properly afterwards, so that meant finally introducing SupaBass to Dani’s Pizza!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! #Halloween!
What better way of celebrating than engaging in grand acts of passion towards the very evil-doers of your heart? It's like TP'ing someone's house, only there's a lot less to clean up afterwards (or a lot more depending on how you roll)! And what better music to have scoring the joyous occasion than our take on a timeless classic?
Remember children, the key to any kind of criminal achievement is to always have fun and be yourself. Stay safe out there!
Yours Cruelly,
theRave
You've seen us play it acoustically, but here is one of our favorite songs to play, off our latest album Sinful Things, done with the magic and possibility of electric power ⚡

Last week we shared a vlog of our time performing at Microsessions in NYC. It was a great time and it we had 2 great performances result out of it. I always strive to make Spells and Curses more of a live experience than simply an auditory one. With that that said, I wanted to share with you a performance of our song "Black Sclera" (off our album SUADADE) that I feel is the definitive live version of the song. Enjoy

We got a chance to be a part of the wonder live music experiment that is #Microsessions (held at none other than #SpaceworksLIC)! Take a behind the scenes look at the pre + post show shenanigans featuring shrunken human skulls, candle-lit stage lighting, sexy dark energies, rock n' roll goodness, The Son of Prince, and #DanisPizza.

Deep in the heart of Brooklyn lies a former coffin shop that now serves craft beer and vegan sliders! Now THAT sounded like a venue we HAD TO play. Fast-forward to Northside Festival 2018 and we were invited to perform our set at the one and only Pine Box Rock Shop. Some of the audio later got corrupted, but I was able to salvage the good parts... (I think). We also snuck some new songs into the setlist!

What do you get when you combine 4 studs, 1 lighthouse, an entire bridal party, and 2 rock shows all in one day? You get the DAY 2 video of our Montauk adventure! Watch as we navigate through rude girls in yellow jackets who don't stfu during acoustic performances and much more!

The video for Day 1 of our stint at Montauk Music Festival is finally up! I gotta admit, looking back on it was a real trip (pun intended). We played 3 shows the first day and 2 shows the next which is no easy task! But all in all, it was a solid learning experience for us and we got to meet some awesome people along the way. So strap yourselves in as you watch 4 city-dwelling boys hit the road and journey deep into the heart of Montauk, where they ultimately find themselves and their friendship in the process.
Wait a minute, that sounds like the plot for the movie Crossroads...

Our first time playing The Bonnie featured many other important firsts; the 1st time theRave publicly performed with a fully shaped beard, the 1st time we debuted some new songs, the 1st time theRave played with a "non-pick" pick, the 1st time we were rewarded with some cheese fries, and the 1st time theProfessor made his singing debut in front of a live audience! It was truly a night to remember featuring many memorable moments. See for yourself:

The last song I uploaded was one I put into the vault but ultimately decided to release. In the weeks since then, I've combed through a few of the unreleased stuff lying around the vault and found a song that I felt captures where my head's at currently. This is a song I recorded a while ago, but the words still ring true for me at this point in life. I suppose there's a trend happening here...
I think everyone we know (and perhaps ourselves too, if we're being honest) is going through some deep stuff. Maybe it's really heavy, maybe it's just nagging, but it's ultimately unhealthy if we keep it bottled up. Let's just remember to be kind to ourselves and ask for help when we might otherwise be too spiteful, prideful, or scared to. Let's remember that we are not alone; not on this earth, and certainly not in this life. We are all here, and have each other for a reason.
Hit me up if you need to talk.
In case you missed it, here's video-graphic evidence of all the madness that transpired during our recent visit to WVMR Studios in NY for an interview with KatieKay on Monday Night RAWRR! We touched on everything from our name origins, teachers who influenced us, our shared history, the legalities of recreational marijuana use, dealing with labels, top 5s, the music from both albums, the future, and of course, Kanye West.
Watch below!

I recently had a very important conversation with a close friend about some things I was going through, and it opened my eyes to a perspective that was really helpful. I recorded this song just a few hours later, but I was gonna leave it in the vault. It was only recorded for me to listen to when I needed something to act as my medicine and help me out of a pretty dark place in my head (regarding this particular situation, at least). However it's been really helpful; listening to this recording was balancing me back to normal. I suppose something about hearing my voice say the words was kinda like confronting myself with the truth. No hiding from it this time. It was so helpful for me, that I figured it might be the same for someone in need as well.
Yes that's me breathing heavy, having a hard time getting the lyrics out. Yes those are dissonant chords thrown in to give you an idea of how fucked things can sound/feel in my head. This was just meant to show you what "going through hurtful shit" feels like for me. But I'm surviving, and guess what that means? So can you.
SO CAN YOU. I promise.
We recently were interviewed by ROCKY BOY Music Magazine discussing our take on social media's role in today's music industry. TAKE A GANDER.
If you recall, a few months ago we held a fan poll to determine the future of fashion AS WE KNOW IT. And after holding a week-long, fan-lead poll to decide the next shirt to lead us into this new era of fleek™, we can now FINALLY DEBUT THE WINNING DESIGN!
"Ooo la laaa!" - said all the boys & girls with eyes
Hand-printed in the warm bosom of Brooklyn on the softest of fabrics imported from local grass-fed artisans; we can finally look crazysexycool all while basking in its benevolent, cooperative glory TOGETHER!
It takes a helluva lot more than a broken amp, lack of sleep, and the jittery-handed side effects of 5 Hour Energy to stop us from putting on a party! See if you catch us playing an old favorite...

► Witness as we finish up our Sinful Things tour with the last show at Brooklyn's very own Muchmore's! Catch all the goings-on to see how we had to overcome a heavy blizzard, a small stage, and an ineffective sound guy, all in order to deliver one last, proper hurrah for the year, with all the celebratory after-show shenanigans (and pizza) included. Also, Daredevil (the Netflix show) just might be based on theRave afterall...

In case you were wondering,
While recording new material, we wanted to give you a taste of some of the new songs. Thus we decided what better way give them a test drive than to bring a few of them out for you to hear! Here's what we've got planned for the spring:

How do you make a hard rock song work with an acoustic setup? Simple: you go balls to the wall and overpower the acoustic--ness of it all with your sheer animal magnetism.

For today's adventure, come take a peak at what lurked below as Spells and Curses traveled to the Dirtyy Jerszeyy. Watch as the boys endure golden traffic jams, play tetris using their gear and the car's trunk, test out some NJ pizza, test out NJ's finest baked goods, recreate a world famous #1 hit music video, contemplate going to a strip club before (and after) the show, HAVE A DEAD FREAKIN' ANIMAL UP ON THEIR STAGE (you read that right), and melt faces as per usz.
