RABIA

The Bio: Rabia started in the summer of 2004. We all met around St. Marks in the Lower Eats Side; in the beginning many friends played for the band, but around August of the same year we stabilized with Jose on vocals, Carlos on bass, Simon on guitar and Ian on Drums. It was around that time when we had our first shows at the legendary squat Casa Del Sol, where Jose also lived. From that moment we did not stop playing shows every weekend with bands such as Eyes of Hate, Zombie Vandals, Treason, U.F.C. etc, and also traveling to cities like Boston, Philly, N.J, etc. At the beginning of 2005 we were invited to play at the See Squat by Stza (L.O.C), where we also had amazing shows every month. In June of the same year Rabia had the first show at Tompkins Square Park (Punk park). In July we played at CBGB’s for the Punk Olympics sharing the stage with more than 15 bands, one of them was I.R.A (Colombia) with whom we play every time they come to la USA. On September 11 we played at Tompkins again, with bands like MDC, Dr. Know, Choking Victim, etc. Our first demo was recorded at Serenity Squat at the end of the year which was done by Mike Dreg (Death Mold). In 2006 Dave became part of our band as the second lead guitarist. Around June Caliche decided to leave the band and that same summer we toured the East Coast with Kudata (N. J), tour in which we played in more than seven states. After the tour Joel became a part of Rabia as the bassist. In August of this same year were invited to play on the 17th anniversary of Tompkins Square Park Riot were we share the stage with Leftover Crack, Death Mold, Witch Hunt, Planned Collapse, etc. In November of this year we did our first trip to Chicago and we also recorded our second demo. In 2007 we continued playing every weekend sharing stages with bands as Huasipungo, A.P.P.L.E, The Casualties, The Krays, A Global Threat, Reagan Youth, and the majority of New York underground’s scene bands. Rabia recorded the third demo and in the summer of the same year also did the second tour (East Coast) across more than seven states. In July like usual we played another great show at Tompkins with Choking Victim, Planned Collapse, Witch Hunt, etc. Around September Joel left the band (Thanx for play with us!) and Caliche came back. At the end of November we played the last show of the year then Dave disappeared. At the beginning of 2008 we were still wondering where Dave might be, until we heard from someone that he is on a deserted island on the Caribbean, so we wish him luck on that. At this moment after 4 years of constant playing, more than 30 original songs, a lot of covers, awesome times, and uncountable amounts of 40oz , our plans are to find a new guitarist, record a great album with good sound. *Update 04-26-08: Caliche ones again got kicked out of the band, now we have Diego from Anti-Armada on bass. *Update 06-01-08: Now Michael (Animale, Dissassociate) is part of Rabia on guitar. We are getting ready to star playing again!. Thanx for the support and we will see you soon in a show. Mad love and revolution.

A fines de Noviembre tocamos nuestro ultimo show del año ya que despues Dave desaparece. A prinsipios de este año 2008 aun nos preguntabamos como estaria Dave hasta que alguien nos dijo que ahora vive en una playa decierta en el Caribe, asi que no queda mas que desearle una buena vida.
