We’ve been a little quiet on the Riff Raff front recently, but that’s gonna be changin’ soon. You may well have heard there’s a new album on the way, going by the name of “Lookout Mama”. Well we’ll be bringing you more details of that very soon, but in the meantime, how about this instead:
Watch Hurray for the Riff Raff live on LiveSet.Com this Thursday! The intimate performance will be filmed live from the Art House in New Orleans, HFTRR’s home town. It’ll be 6pm New Orleans time, but if like us, you’re working on GMT, you’ll need to tune into the website from midnight. A late night show, but we’re sure it’ll be something well worth staying up for.
Congratulations to Hurray For The Riff Raff, whose self-titled album has made The Times’ list of the 10 Best Albums of 2011!
