You Bred Raptors? A band of NYC buskers are the answer - Street I Am


You Bred Raptors? Yes, and I loved it -

A conversation from the future? Perhaps, if you are a mad genetic scientist -

Spawned from a raging science fiction fantasy, they come to play tomorrow’s music today -

Soon all pop music will be this inspired. What is the music of You
Bred raptors? You be the judge. But this is who they are. They are,
Epileptic Peat (Peat Rains) – Songwriter/8 String Bass/Glockenspiel,
Bryan Wilson – Songwriter/Cello, Patrick Bradley – Drums/Glockenspiel


It is pop music of the  future minus the synthesizer.

Spontaneous street culture gets political in London - Street I Am

Spontaneous street culture gets political in London - Street I Am

Spontaneous street culture gets political in London

public street. Should all neighborhoods be expected have the same level
of noise? How much public activity does any government have a right to
license in a free society?


Boris Johnson talks to Camden busker Jonny Walker. Picture: Polly Hancock. spontaneous street
