If you’re looking for new music, this is the episode for you. Peat Rains of You Bred Raptors? (with the question mark) is the guest. He’s the kind of guy who started playing bass because everyone else was playing guitar. His introduction to music was a little different than most. His earliest influence was his deadhead pastor father. Immediately after high school, he was signed to a label in a Pennsylvania diner. It was one of those milkshake type of deals. He started playing 8 string bass because of a typo and a friend willing to front him $700. The band You Bred Raptors? has paid its dues by busking in New York City subways. But that’s also how they got the gig opening for Yoko Ono at MOMA, a TED Talk, and several birthday parties. Peat is very candid about being difficult to define, winning the all important wife demographic, and what Rick Springfield has or has not done for him. We also find out about the strangest tip the band has ever received. Follow the band @youbredraptors on social media. Buy music on Bandcamp or at their website youbredraptors.com (which is where you can also book them for YOUR next birthday party). Follow us @PerformanceAnx on social media.
