- Offbeat Magazine and Liveset have teamed up for a special collaboration to bring you one of New Orleans most loved folk bands, Hurray for the Riff Raff. This free and intimate online performance will be streamed live online from the Art House on the Levee in the lower 9th Ward of New Orleans. Lead by Alynda Lee, a Puerto Rican raised in the Bronx, their sound is influenced by the sounds of Classic Country,1960's Rock 'n' Roll, and master songwriters like Townes Van Zandt and Neil Young. Phil Alexander, the Editor-in-Chief of Mojo Magazine, raved that they "have immense potential and seductive power" and named them one of the best bands at SXSW.
Almost a decade later, this is still one of my very favorite concerts on RUclips. Absolutely fantastic. I heard Rhododendron on The Current last week and had to go listen to more... and more... fantastic.
Yeah there playing in Madison WI next weekend for free but they have so many albums now hopefully there just as good as the first two!
Same I’ve been watching since I saw them at a residency where they played for a week in my town! That was 2014ish. I watch this performance multiple times a year since then haha
Yeah man love it think I stumbled across this when there was like a few thousand views
Same, have loved coming back to this video over the years!
0:26 Little Black Star
4:00 Look Out Mama
7:54 End Of The Line
12:11 What's Wrong With Me
17:34 Lake of Fire
22:13 St. Roch Blues
28:07 Be My Baby
32:05 Small Town Heroes 👈 (This one has to be my fav!)
I wonder how many times I've watched this over the years.
I'm back after a 5 year break. When its time its time!
I must be into tree figures for listening to this now!
haha i think maybe only 20000 people is responsible for 800k views
If you're like me it's been like a gazillion times
This is still one of my favorite sets of all time. I’ve been listening for years!!
Completely agree
Same dude. 10 year anniversary just around the bend
Learned of this band from KPCC radio station, sure like them...
Likewise, I just keep coming back to this performance.
I've booked them to play in Glasgow. Just a few days to go and I can't wait.
The sound guys really did a good job to records and filter all the noise out.
glad to know the resonate hipster is here to chime in
@@skateboards5298 He resonated with me as well!
@Tay - Yes. The audio is great on this video. One of the nice things about the acoustics of the great outdoors, there are no strong reflections from walls and ceilings, and low-frequency resonances are minimized.
8 years later and i'm back here again.
Her voice is Addicting !!
This is my all-time favorite band. Alynda Segarra has the most beautiful, unique voice I have ever heard. It lights inspiration and introspection. When I saw Hurray for the Riff Raff live, tears streamed down my face the whole show. Thank you for putting out these amazing tunes. And of course, it's out of the badass City of New Orleans! Keep rocking!
I have been coming back to this video for nearly 10 years now. Crazy how time flies and at the same things seem so long ago. Always a reminder to not take our youth for granted.
Heard this bands names for years, literally took 1 minute to be a fan
Add me to that!
right!! lol.. same here
Exactly.
I didn't think beautiful voices like that existed anymore! Amazing band
This is very seriously one of my favorite things of all time. It turns off my internet ADD and slows things down
Robert Plant, just hanging out in the back...
I just love Hurray for the Riff Raff, so happy I found this great band. I could listen to her beautiful voice all day.
Still my fav iteration of the band...what a gift this session is! (btw, I did get the album on Amazon after hearing this too :) )
This is definitely the best this band ever sounded. It's not that their new stuff is bad, but this hits me so much more.
Yep, i didn't even knew that this band iterated so much but .. feels like the best they ever were.
Why Amazon? Clearly you need to listen more closely to the anti-capitalist, pro-people lyrics of their new music
The fiddle player is a perfect fit for the band. He plays tastefully and never hits a bad note. We were lucky to see them in Charlottesville last September. Hope to see again soon.
He ?? That's Alynda's GF.
Nautilus1972 i wouldn't be so quick to make that correction... yosi is openly transgender and i have not read anywhere that states how yosi identifies... i have not had the privilege to meet these fines people, so i don't know myself.... no matter; they jam :-)
Elyse Peters +Nautilus1972 Semantics over pronouns is the most frustrating aspect of the LGBTQ movement.
Raymond Lee I understand it can be difficult for others to understand all the complexities and proper etiquette regarding LGBTQ individuals... However, it is important to do our best to respect and ease the immense struggle that comes from being born into a body that that does feel like your own and a world that (mostly) does not understand you. Sensitivity and an eagerness to be respectful truly goes a long way, even if we don't always says the right thing.
Gender pronouns may seem like semantics to you but try to consider how huge of an issue it may be to a trans person. Would you like it if people referred to you as "her" (assuming you identify as a "him")? Would you not correct them? I would imagine that any discomfort that mistake might cause you would be greatly magnified for a trans individual. If it's such a little deal to you (and a potentially big deal to them) then how easy it would be to ease that struggle/pain, if only just a bit! Seems well worth it to me. Just some food for thought...
Also, Yosi is indeed wonderful! As is the entire band... I'm so in love, can't wait to see them live! :D
+Beverly Jordan Idk, the fiddle is good but it could be a lot flasheir at parts (on solos). I agree it's perfect when it's accompanying the vocals, but when the fiddle is soloing, I want a little more than just the melody...
his melodies very good ! not every day you hear music like this. Greetings from Argentina
I'm listening to this album this morning. It still comes across as fresh and personal.
Came here & didn't know what to expect, it started good & then the fiddle kicked in!!! Can't beat a good fiddle! I can honestly say I liked EVERY single song, the cover song was amazing! Anyone else think she is extremely cute?? Definitely a band I will be following! Thumbs up!!
I am completely mesmerized by this band. Great music!
Accidentally clicked into Awesomeness
You’re telling me. It’s like having your breath taken away. Goddamn.
I love 'Look Out Mama' - so addictive!
Awesome tune and performance. Almost feels like I'm in New Orleans.
I was lucky enough to see Ms Alyndra Lee singing solo in Tucson tonight, and I'm happy to report that she's still a wonder, with a peerless voice that brings to mind Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders.
that's awesome I hope to see them some time. Nearest place I could see them is maybe Spokane or the Gorge amphitheater. if they ever play it.
I love this. I'm from East L.A., gang capital of the world, but I'm gonna share your music with my students. They need to hear this.
Arturo Lopez So cool to be sharing musical traditions with students who may not have ever even heard them!
19:12 - can you imagine this band doing a collab with Pearl Jam on this song.
Brain melting epic.
Loving that Alynda Lee. What a grand voice!
don't. just don't. Keep Eddie Vedder away from her please.
She has a great voice
Her vocal vibrato is amazing!
Agreed.
I will never stop watching this set.
You would think that came from Silverlake California the way they dress at the goofy sunglasses and clothes that's cool
Best 36 minutes I've ever spent on youtube.
Absolutely bang on ..
What a singer and songwriter. Blown away and this was years ago. New "Life on Earth" album is great.
Just ridiculously good guys! I'm glued from beginning to end.
Just found and heard of y'all today! I could listen to y'all all day!
I didn't listen something like that since I heard Ella Fitzgerald by first time.
Maybe they weren't making money or in fighting but liked this form of the band
Saw them in Nashville this week - they opened for Amos Lee - and was really impressed with Alynda and the band. It's sometimes hard to get into an opening act when your unfamiliar with them more than ready for the main event but they kept my attention all the way through the set. Lead singer is very personable.
Wow. Just Wow. What a great sounding band and an excellent video. And this gal behind the guitar is breakin' my heart.
Fantastic set! I'm not normally a country fan, but after seeing them open for Alabama Shakes earlier this week, I have changed my mind. Hurray, indeed.
36 minutes? I spent all day listening to this on repeat.
Such a fine band with strong material! Been a great 36 minutes, look forward to many more! Thank you for the post.
390K views and no comments? Guess it's up to me to say this is pretty darn fabulous.
I just this band on Letterman--never watch but fell asleep after Big Brother and heard this band on a fluke...LOVE THEM! TY for posting--I will be buying their albums. They are so refreshing and so GOOD.
"what's wrong with me?" is amazing!
Esa chica canta con talento y pasión, me encanta!!!
So amazing. So full of good mojo :)
No one and nothing brings my heart more joy.
Still my go-to , watched 100 xs at least
Is it me or does the drummer look like Bruce Campbell?
They're badass now...and then. I'm glad I caught them early...and glad they've blown up. Can't wait to see them in San Fran.
gunna tell jesus little black star has a lovely voice.
Oh wow .... I love expanding my playlist .. and we'll needless to say this is a perfect fit ^_^
I'm trying to go outside and enjoy it but now I'm in front of the nerdbox and obsessed with this band. Cool stuff.
She should change guitars according to each song.
I don't know how I found you but I love your stuff.
Fabulous music. I’m a new fan! Great video and sound recording.
I always come back to this.. oh so dang good!
This girl is my long lost crush haha
I am now a fan.......over.
WOW OH WOW! I enjoyed the shit out of this video. The music/The setting/The feeling is just Wonderful/Fabulous/Fantastic! Wish I were there live on the banks by a stream from the river called Mississippi! This is a HIT! QUICO!
dear lord i'm in love
Still as sweet as the first time I heard em...
come to the crossroads at kansas city or one of the venues in lawrence, kansas!!
Every video I watch! EVERY. VIDEO. hahaha
i'm on youtube a lot, haha...and recently, i've been starved for some new music!! either that, or you are stalking me, haha!
Just happened to subscribe to this channel after watching the Civil Wars show, clicked this video, and BAM! There you were. hahaha
c/s from lawrence. would be great to hear y'all out here
Mixing crossroads and fiddlers is dangerous...
just plain good music
Best rendition of "Be my baby" since the Ronettes sang it in the 1960s. Please put on your next album.
qué maravilla!!! abrazos de bienestar, desde Islas Canarias, con paz, fuerza y alegría para todxs.
Wauu, today was another lucky day in my life, I've discovered this band, they are really great. i can't judege like other people, but I can say that they only send emotions to my ears. Thanks for sharing, hope to hear them in Romania
well said.
batca ioana .
Holy baby Hipster Jesus!
she said CD and not album. loses hipster "points" lol
hahahaha good point
What a brilliant what have you
I get to be effusive, RR. I paid my dues. I might even have paid your dues, once or twice. Identity is not quite what anyone thinks. No matter. I'm just the messenger. Life on Earth, the biosphere, hears your song. Life on Earth WILL be long.
I love this so much! Alynda is so great, I just love her stuff.
A couple of things to note - Beautiful song and performance - V V cute - was a Harmony H165 and now a Kay. I likey....
Beautiful! Anyone that sings with that much soul is okay with me...
great sound Gang!!! such tasty riff raff:)
I found Hurray for the Riff Raff about a week after they had played about half a mile down the road from my house three years ago. Still annoys me. A Lot.
I am going to hold you to the house party PROMISE!! I'm stalking your schedule now and I will figure it out before yall get to famous and cool for us. love your music!!
Love her sound!!!! Great band!!! GREAT MUSIC!!
God bless y'all path
Unbelievable Jeff........
here from democracy now
I could swear that Natilie Merchant was singing.. Why isn't this group playing the John Hartford festival?
BEAUTIFUL
my asumption..this womans voice is so soft so cool so heartfelt so heartwarming so so cool!!!
angels dont sing as sweet
I have listen to this concert 100 times, and i could play it 100 more times. Its really cool
Always a nice hitchhiking on acid song to enjoy!
St Roche Blues!
I love all this...
Vy so goodt? So goodt
Listening to you guys can always bring me out of my darkest thoughts.
does anyone have advice on how she gets that sound? What microphone? Mixer? effect? If someone told me the exact set up I would get find it asap!
Rad job on be my baby
if you prefer something more original, more true new orleans, type in "norco lapalco", listen to "power blvd" and " you, me and the huey p"
Love her voice so much.
Nothing short of AMAZING !!! I love HFTRR. Hope they will be back in Denmark soon!
I just adore her voice. Mesmerizing and authentic. Bravo
Yeah, oh yeah, real nice stuff, very good!
shes very pretty
Sweet sounding waves. Excellent voice by the main singer. The violin adds a sweet folk sound and the drums and bass give the music it's roots.
Beautiful; be my, be my baby; the callus on my heart is gone!
Boy, I like their CD a lot but they sound really great live. Look forward to their Buffalo date soon.
