Hurray for the Riff Raff

Live Forever Hurray for the Riff Raff

On the exact two-year anniversary of "The Past Is Still Alive" – named one of the Best Albums of the 2020s So Far by Pitchfork, and one of the Best Albums of 2024 by The New York Times, The Atlantic, Associated Press, NPR Music, Rolling Stone, Billboard, OUT, Mojo, Uncut and a multitude of others – Hurray for the Riff Raff announces the release of a new live record.

"Live Forever" was captured over the course of two sold-out summer nights at the Old Town School of Folk Music in bandleader Alynda Segarra’s new home of Chicago, Illinois. Spanning 14 songs, "Live Forever" presents "The Past Is Still Alive" in its entirety, as well as a selection of Hurray for the Riff Raff’s show-stopping, set-defining staples: decrying ICE on the poetic “Precious Cargo” and The Navigator’s anthemic “Pa’lante”; the prescient digital age critique of “Pyramid Scheme”; and ripping through a folk-rock rendition of LIFE ON EARTH’s “Rhododendron.”
