It's comforting to know that you to want to find out if rarg is playing live, but sadly rarg was never really conceived as a live performance unit, and up until now, rarg has not seriously considered the possibility of doing gigs. That doesn't mean to say that there will NEVER be a rarg gig, as he is keen to give it a go. If you were to contact him and book him for a gig (a nice office party or wedding would be ideal as they are well paid and you can guarantee that there would be nothing more inappropriate than for rarg to show up and start terrorizing guests with horrid noises), he would be happy to have the excuse.

Seriously though, rarg is looking into the possibility of putting together a live ensemble, so if you're willing to have them along for a festival or event that you are organising, please drop rarg a line.

However, if you are interested in seeing rarg's other identity in its natural state, you can always catch him playing keyboards with Smokehand. Full gig details can be found at the Smokehand webpage, but I'll keep the latest ones updated below:
