Band MembersWe have a big circle of musicians and friends around us- were all still young, some still in college, all pretty broke, occasionally one of us gets ill or arrested or has an accident, etc etc so frequently we have extra peeps come and play or strip down to smaller acoustic versions..

Big thank you's to everyone who has recorded with us and helped along the way

A FEW PRESS QUOTES:

- COLIN MURRAY- BBC RADIO1:"DIGITAL KINGS- PERSONAL FAVOURITES.."

- KRIS NEEDS @ MOJO MAGAZINE LIVE REVIEW:"A JOYOUS STORM SHOT WITH THE KIND OF DIVERSE MUSICAL STRAINS WHICH SEEM INTEGRAL TO ARTISTS AFFILIATED WITH THE STRUMMER CAMP"

- SIR PAUL MC CARTNEY @ LIPA:"SPEAKING ABOUT 'SO LONG'; "BEAUTIFULLY COMPLEX MELODIES, DEFINITELY THE NEW SOUND"

- HUW STEPHENS- BBC RADIO1:"ONE OF THE MAIN HIGHLIGHTS OF THE '07 BBC INTRODUCING NEW MUSIC RADIO1 STAGE @ GLASTONBURY, TRULY ENTERTAINING AND WELL WORTH GOING TO SEE THEM LIVE, LEGENDS IN THE MAKING"

- ROB DA BANK- BBC RADIO1: "IF THEY ARENT DAYTIME BY NEXT YEAR ILL EAT MY OWN PONYTAIL"

- TIMEOUT MAGAZINE: "POP HOODLUMS"

- THE TIMES NEWSPAPER -STRUMMERVILLE INTERVIEW:

"The charity has been kept afloat by fundraisers, including a Christmas bash this Sunday and all-night summer parties on this sport attended by the likes of Kate Moss and Lily Allen. But a crucial boost was a donation from Damien Hirst, from a specially commissioned painting he sold. “After Joe died we wanted to create something that he would have approved of,” explains Hirst, himself inspired to become an artist by Strummer. “We set up Strummerville as a way of continuing what he believed in and offering opportunities to budding musicians who otherwise have little chance of getting their music out there.”

On this December day the doors of a small auditorium are flung wide open. Five young men and one woman are belting out fine, ska-inflected tunes against a backdrop of leopardskin sofas, glitterballs and Native American ornaments. They are the Riff Raff, one of a growing number of young British bands who have benefited in these tough times from facilities and advice provided by Strummerville..."

'Stickman'- Kelli, Alex and Harry acoustic version in the sun, just a little summer warm up :)

Among other events; We have played on the BBC Radio1 Introducing stage at festivals, Glastonbury, Bestival,Livesong, and The Electric Proms in Camden, and we were invited on the BBC Electric Proms tour around the U.K in the MTV Gonzo tourbus. The BBC paid for us to fly out to Barcelona and work with Zero DB, Giles Petersons favourite electro jazz group, we then flew back and performed at the Jazz Cafe in Camden, London.

This guy has been emailing me saying he hates my rapping. I feel my time is running out. Cremate me so this doesn't happen.

Here's a new free download for you. It's called "Gigapet". The instrumental is from the classic Co Flow's "Little Johnny from the Hospital" album.

Also, "Hypnotize". Biggie is rolling in his grave for this one.
