Hurray For The Riff Raff To Tour With First Aid Kit In May 2023

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Hurray for the Riff Raff, aka Alynda Segarra, who is currently touring North America with songs from their new album, LIFE ON EARTH, as special guest of Bright Eyes, will join the band First Aid Kit on their West Coast tour in May 2023. The shows kick off at the Fox Theater in Oakland on May 15, followed by the Hollywood Palladium and stops in Phoenix, Denver, Salt Lake City, Portland, and Vancouver, culminating at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle on May 24. Pre-sale tickets go on sale this Wednesday, November 9, at 10am local time with password RideOffOnAPalomino; general on-sale begins this Friday, November 11.

Additionally, Hurray for the Riff Raff join NPR Music in a celebration of its fifteenth anniversary at Washington, DC's 9:30 Club on November 29.

LIFE ON EARTH 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.
