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

The show will take place at Marsh Woodwinds - 707 North Person St. Raleigh, NC on Sat Feb 27 at 8pm. Tickets are $10 and will be available at the door. Multi-instrumentalist Samuel Doores from New Orleans, will open the show.
