The Rapture Debut Their New Label, Throne of Blood – Celebrate with Them @
Studio B on February 16th.
The Rapture has announced the formation of a new label called Throne of Blood.
Based in New York, the label initially plans to release special vinyl versions of
singles and remixes from the highly praised Pieces of the People We Love. In addition to bringing on
board some of the most influential producers in dance music for the remixes, with Throne of
Blood, The Rapture continues to demonstrate their desire to truly invest in their work
and give back to their core audience.  Also scheduled for availability on Throne of Blood will
be vinyl LP editions of albums including Pieces which Rolling Stone calls, welcome return to club-shaking catchiness.



Their current album "Pieces of the People We Love" was listed among the
best albums of 2006 in Rolling Stone, Spin, Pitchfork, and NME. They are hitting the road for the
second leg of their US tour in February, then off to Europe and AU with dates confirmed to
April.


On February 16th, The Rapture will take over the hotspot venue Studio B located in
Brooklyn. This night will be pure celebration to announce the label's debut, and not
only is The Rapture playing but this will also be their own debut of their live electronic set.
Highly anticipated?  You better believe it.  Puma will be giving away limited edition Throne of Blood
shirts, and internet radio station, Viva-Radio.com, will be broadcasting LIVE.
