The Rakes play in a kebab shop

The Rakes performed a special gig in a London kebab shop last night (May 4).

The invite-only event, which took place at the Stone Cave restaurant in Dalston, saw the band playing in front of around 80 competition winners, all of whom were given a free kebab on arrival.

The gig took place as part of the T-Mobile Street Gigs, leading Rakes frontman Alan Donohoe to jokingly thank the mobile network for “helping me pay off half my mortgage”, before sticking a letter ‘T’ made out of masking tape on his leg.

The 50-minute set included two new tracks ‘Man With A Job’ and ‘The World Was A Mess’, which are being considered for the band’s second album, due out early next year.

The Rakes played:

‘Terror’
‘Retreat’
‘We Are All Animals’
‘Man With A Job’
‘Work, Work, Work (Pub, Club, Sleep)’
‘The Guilt’
‘T-Bone’
‘All Too Human’
‘Open Book’
‘Binary Love’
‘Dark Clouds’
‘Violent’
‘Ausland Mission’
'22 Grand Job’
‘The World Was A Mess’
‘Something Clicked’
‘Strasbourg’

The Rakes are now set to kick off a UK tour which begins in Cardiff on May 11.
