Survive the Mayan End of the World with Red Leather Riot

2012 witnessed new Adelaide band, Red Leather Riot explode onto the scene with their stripped back, bass driven approach to playing music - which if you would attempt to pigeon hole them as a genre, you would loosely fit into categories of Post Rock, New Wave and Punk. This female led four piece emerged from the southern suburbs earlier this year and quickly gained a buzz amongst the public, music organisers and other bands alike, playing their very first show at the Enigma Bar with Adelaide favourites; Nostics and Jungle City. They have since begun to carve a niche into the local music scene with their unique sound and high energy shows that are both engaging and packed with attitude. In the lead up to the ill-fated and somewhat sceptically anticipated Mayan end of the world prediction of December 21, Red Leather Riot are again teaming up with Jungle City and new youngsters: Iron Feather to (perhaps) play what might be the last show on Earth - at where else but the Worldsend. Who knows? You may even survive with some free giveaways.
