They are Currently on Tour next playing in Munich at Sonnenrot Festival on 18th July 2009

Look out for The Rifles they will get many more gigs around London, and other Kent Gigs and more Festivals next year,

The View,

Pretty Chilled out band, I asked if they went to music school they did but failed as had to do cover bands and they hate covers, its all about making your point and getting your own voice out there and showing your own soul getting your voice heard and creating your own style,

I Say there Similar to a Band called The Kooks in there music style,

The View next Festival is 10 Jul 2009 T IN THE PARK at Kinross-shire
