Hi-there ho-there Raptorians,
Another update in the works here from the handsomest little minstrelling boys you know. Tracking, Mixing&Mastering 'Hammond' was an absolute dream, no BS. Colin Marston is truly a NINJA of an audio engineer, and the Thousand Caves provided the perfect vibe for us to get down and funky with our bad selves. All basic tracks were done completely LIVE (that includes looping) and most songs were done in a matter of a few takes. Recording to 2" tape is something we're all super excited about, and the sound is simply undeniable. We were essentially trying to emulate a live show, and think the results are very successful. You can stream the entire album for FREE or buy high quality digital files here:

Don't forget to download the free single, Hem&Haw! iTunes and Amazon availability will come shortly, we will have physical copies in a matter of weeks.
Speaking of physical copies... Our big CD Release show at Tammany Hall is looming ever closer, March 10th people! Mark your calendars! We're happy to share the stage with The Rouge Royale, it's sure to be a fantastic/delicious time. We'll also be peddling some new YBR? schwag alongside the new album...
In the spirit of keeping things socially awkward, we're playing on Valentine's Day for the MTA's 'Missed Connections' show at the Transit Museum in Brooklyn Heights. That's right, you can find the 7 fingered, MRSA infected homeless guy who you just couldn't connect with on your morning commute, AND listen to YBR? at the same time! Easily accessible from the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, F, R, M and G trains, more info follows here:

Other news includes the continued residency at fancy-pants wine and craft beer bar Crescent&Vine in Astoria, we'll be there the last Friday of every month shaking our feathery tails around. We're also looking at some film and TV scoring opportunities, and just might jump at a few of them... Maybe youll hear some YBR? tunage in the next Pfizer commercial, yeah! Hopefully not! Check out the main website, http://www.youbredraptors.com for a new design and a peek at some new merch we've acquired from the lab.
Until next time, ladies and gents...
