Beautifully crafted and expertly executed, this instrumental band breaks molds and leaves barriers as an afterthought. Fighting musical dogma and enticing complete strangers with unorthodox sounds along with gorgeous melodies and catchy themes, You Bred Raptors? colors deep outside the lines. Drawing inspiration from cinema, classical, hip hop and metal, the band composes pieces designed to capture certain atmospheres and trap people there. They are a three piece instrumental busking band out of New York City. The songs are crafted with 8-string bass, cello, drums and two glockenspiels. The compositions have a heavy, post-rock, experimental, film score-like sound. Through tireless performance in the NYC subways with the Music Under New York program (MUNY), they are dedicated to reaching every demographic possible. Because the majority of our CDs are sold in the subway, the music is now all over the globe and they have dedicated fans in dozens of countries. In some of their performance locations, hundreds of thousands of people will pass through the turnstiles every hour. As a band, they have played over 350 shows in the subway alone. In addition to busking, You Bred Raptors? thrive in a variety of artistic mediums: As a pit orchestra for a NYC theater group, commissioned to score the upcoming feature film from TROMA Pictures, as well as 6 independent films produced by PVAF Films throughout 2014 - 2015. They are currently the house band in the wildly successful off-Broadway production"Sleep No More". You can spot them donning masks and entrancing people across all of New York City and beyond.
