RACKETT (band)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
RACKETT was a self-described "three-car garage rock" band that originated from songs written and recorded by the poet Paul Muldoon[1] and the 17th century poetry scholar Nigel Smith[2][3] during mid-to-late 2004.[4] Muldoon and Smith were joined by Stephen Allen, "an entertainment lawyer";[5][6] Bobby Lewis; and Lee Matthew, a "scholar of medieval polyphony."[7] The spelling of the group's name derives from the medieval instrument of the same appellation.
Rackett disbanded in 2010. Muldoon and Smith subsequently formed the band Wayside Shrines, which continues to write songs based on Muldoon's lyrics. [8]
