Their explosive live performances have received acclaim from audiences of all demographics, and attracted the attention of producer Andrew Weiss (Ween, Rollins Band, Butthole Surfers, Yoko Ono, and Grammy winners Café Tacuba). This relationship led to Weiss recording, mixing and producing the Ray's 4th album (Exotic Handshakes, 2005).
The Rays have certainly established their presence, and with new doors opening they have no intention of idling now. They will continue to pursue their vision the same way they always have, with honest songs and phenomenal music.
