Rivet Gun was born a fictitious band trying to find their way out of downtown NYC’s ‘shit-hole bars’ in the off-off-Broadway musical Negative Space, whose debut was unceremoniously canceled in March 2020 due to the onset of COVID19. The band members were hired guns - Broadway pit and session players hand-picked to back protagonist Wilma Rivets, a power-voiced front woman with an attitude and an affinity for slam poetry. Thanks to COVID, the music they had brought to life never made it out into the world, until now. Two plus years of wearing masks in studios and sending demos and tracks around have materialized in the band’s first self-titled album. Rivet Gun adds modern flavor to the counter-culture lyricism of Jim Morrison and Bob Dylan, served on a bed of snarly guitar licks and fleshy organ swirls. Ms. Rivets and the band want to strike a chord both musically and lyrically. They are true urban gourmets, stirring the pot with irreverent socio-political views and other raw sharings. Video(s), album #2 and live shows are all in the works.
