The New York Rifles

The lineup has shifted around him and now includes Sean Moultrie - drums,vocals, Kari Schafer - vocals, keyboards, guitar, and Brent Williams on bass, vocals. Their sound is somewhat like a cross between the Pixies and the Rats - heavy on the punky energy, yet strange and twisted with a slight touch of goth guitars and acapella 4 part gospel harmonies.

The New York Rifles have a new record coming soon. We were so happy to host the New York Rifles. This is one of our best shows yet! Be sure to check them out on The New York Rifles Myspace Site
