New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Hurray for the
Riff Raff kicks off a tour of
Europe and the UK featuring songs from their Nonesuch debut album, LIFE ON EARTH, this weekend with sets at Todays Festival in Turin, Italy, on Friday and All Points East in London on Sunday. The tour continues with concerts in Northampton, Dublin, Glasgow, Leeds, Wiltshire, Cardiff, Manchester, Birmingham, London, Brighton, and Paris. See below for details and tickets; for all the latest, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.
LIFE ON EARTH, released earlier this year, is a departure for the New Orleans-based Segarra. Its eleven new "nature punk" tracks on the theme of survival are music for a world in flux—songs about thriving, not just surviving, while disaster is happening. For their eighth full-length album, Segarra drew inspiration from The Clash, Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Bad Bunny, and the author of Emergent Strategy, adrienne maree brown. Recorded during the pandemic, Life on Earth was produced by Brad Cook (Waxahatchee, Bon Iver,
Kevin Morby). You can get it and hear it here.
