Riff Raiders

Following recent sold outs shows supporting the legendary Baby Animals at the Corner Hotel, and Palace of the King at Cherry Bar, Riff Raiders headline at Whole Lotta Love Bar. Joining the Raiders on the bill will be Eat the Damn Orange (yes, a Simpsons’ reference) led by latino vocal powerhouse Tash Vegas and The Hard Rock Show’s Brendan Nelissen, plus the extremely talented band Miles Recommends. Riff Raiders have gained much respect as a hard working band in the local scene for its consistently powerful upbeat performances, having played nearly 30 shows this year on the back of its debut album ‘Live Like You Mean It’ released in November 2017. The album tracks have sold in over 40 countries, receive regular airplay on independent and digital radio locally and internationally (including the USA) and the album was voted No.2 in Top Ten Albums of 2017 (Audience Choice) on The Hard Rock Show (CH31TV) in January 2018. This will be the final Melbourne headline show for 2018 before a last run of gigs in Geelong, Canberra and Brisbane. Riff Raiders will be heading back to the studio to work on the follow up album at the end of the year. $7 entry, doors open 8pm Playing times: RIFF RAIDERS 10.30 – 11.30pm Eat the Damn Orange 9.30 – 10.10pm Miles Recommends 8.30 – 9.10pm Website: www.riffraiders.com Live Like You Mean It - official lyric video https://youtu.be/b8mmu0CZmzU D-GAF - official video https://youtu.be/xqrZ3l6KOT4 A Million Miles Away - official video https://youtu.be/L_MJhRjZqsI Buy Vinyl/CD/Stream music here http://www.riffraiders.com/shop/ “This is pure, modern edged rock and roll.
