Enemy #5
HOME: Greenpoint
STYLE: Retro
CRIME: Multiple Instrument Infractions
Brooklyn, NY- “Speak gently and carry a big red guitar!” Riley clearly took Theodore Roosevelt’s famous words to heart.
He also carries: a mandolin, a banjo, a glockenspiel, a lap steel guitar, a Faberge egg shaker, a toy piano, and an infinite collection of stylish trousers, shirts and shoes.
All this and he is the “M” in “S&M”! Not to mention the producer of two of the band’s records!
TURN-ONs: old-timey things and the colors red, white, and black.
TURN-OFFs: an empty calendar and khaki
MUSICAL INFLUENCES: the sound two things make when they touch each other.
