Along with Chris Michetti (Guitar), Jay Burwick (Bass) and Greg Stukey (Drums) the band would release their second album "Carbohydrates Are The Enemy" later in the year and embark on their first national tour.
In a 2004 article, music writer Eric Ward Glide Magazine stated, "They've invented the concept of jambands even having an old school style to bring back in the first place.
The band is composed of Chris DeAngelis on bass, Tim Palmieri on guitar, Adrian Tramantano on drums, and Rob Somerville on tenor and soprano saxophone.
The band has also appeared at venues such as the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco and the Knitting Factory in New York City.
Relix Magazine featured the band in its Spotlight section, saying "RAQ has the ability to captivate an audience, dropping jaws with hyperkinetic improvisational splendor."
