After spending some time working on its next studio release, RAQ will return to the road for a handful of club dates later this month. Beginning Friday with a two-night stand at Portland, MEs The Big Easy, RAQ will breeze through the northeast, before dipping down to Florida for a February 25 appearance at the Culture Room. While the quartet promises additional dates in the coming weeks, it has confirmed that its tour will conclude with a crusher evening with appearance at South Burlington, VTs Higher Ground on March 11. Also, on Friday, be sure to checkout keyboardist Todd Stoops reflections in the next edition of our 2005 Year End Retrospective.
