Freight Train Rabbit Killer Concert History

The band Freight Train Rabbit Killer is made up of Kris Bruders (Freight Train) and Mark Smeltzer (Rabbit Killer). Described as a heavy doom blues American Roots opera - a shaman of the hills and a vigilante bent on justice. Their live shows have been described as being intense, a freaking fantastic musical journey. Creepy and honest. It's storytelling through music. Doom blues. Screaming electric guitars. All accompanied by suits and masks.
