Omschrijving
One of those early 70's forgotten prog bands, Riff Raff came together almost as a natural
consequence of the member's different paths crossing each others at times. Although the
group started quite different than the final stable line-up, it was mostly the brainchild of
Tommy Eyre and Roger Sutton (both having played with Ainsley Dunbar's Blue Whale and
Retaliation, Juicy Lucy, Joe Cocker, Nucleus, Mark-Almond, Alan Price, Trinity with Auger and
Driscoll, etc.) and later on Pete Kirtley (Griffin, Alan Price) and Aureo De Souza (Brazilian-
born, played with nucleus) and Bud Beable (Ginger Baker's Airforce). Their music hovers
between rock and jazz, but is not easily pigeonholed in either, neither;-).
They released their eponymous debut album in late 73, but they had already recorded a
previous album the year before under a different line-up, but for obscure reasons, it was
not released until almost 25 years later. After a second album, the members parted ways.
