taintradio.org is bringing those purveyors of melodramatic popular
song, Hurray for the Riff-Raff to Raleigh for a show at Marsh
Woodwinds on Sat Feb 27th at 8pm. This trio hails from New Orleans
and their original music is a blend of blues, thrash and string-band
music. Instrumentation includes banjo, bass, accordion, guitar and
autoharp. Daytrotter described them as follows: ”Hurray For The Riff
Raff makes an odd combination of darkened folk music that contains
full-bodied crooning, fascinating elements of the macabre and the kind
of Americana flourishes that show up in music by contemporaries such
as Dark Dark Dark, The Handsome Family and North Carolina’s The
Bowerbirds. They aren’t songs of gleefulness, but they can be.”
Hurray for the Riff-Raff is celebrating the release of their second
CD, just out last week "Young Blood Blues" - available from emusic.com

available at the door. Multi-instrumentalist Samuel Doores from New
Orleans, will open the show.
