Riff Raff (band)


Riff Raff was British progressive rock band formed in 1972, led by keyboardist Tommy Eyre.

Background

The band was a continuation on the back of drummers Rod Coombes' and Joe Czarnecki 's project originally called 'Crikey' which started in 1969 and completed in 1970, when Coombes had to accept growing tour commitments with Juicy Lucy. These sessions comprised half of the Riff Raff album Outside Looking In, in which Coombes wrote half the songs.
Riff Raff later went on to release two albums to lukewarm response; however, their use of jazz and hard-edged rock garnered them a large underground following. Riff Raff also released the single "Copper Kettle".
