hurray for the riff raff - 'hungry ghost'

Here's a band that I've blogged about for quite a few years now and so glad that they've got mainstream success at last.

There's always time for some beautiful music.

It's swings and roundabouts. The day got worse when I read that Miley Cyrus had covered the Flaming Lips 'Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots' - that is so depressing, honestly and then this evening Brighton get knocked out of the FA Cup after a dismal display against Hull but I got home to find my Hurray For The Riff Raff t-shirt had arrived and it's a beauty. 

And that gives me an excuse to post a song. Wonderful!

The more I hear of this band, the more and more I like them. Have a listen to this and see why. Beautiful.

Fans of Laura Marling will adore this long established Americana band. The lead singer, Alynda Lee Segarra, is the engine underneath the bonnet of the band with a powerful deep South voice that evokes Michelle Shocked at her most determined. She does a mean yokel too. Please do check out the entire session on Youtube here.
