Formed in Hobart, winter of '06: 'Twas a cold and bleak winter. A man, a fire, a benefit gig. The following night: A Cello, a Maton electric guitar, a voice, a harmonica: a mission. Sandfly Hall, A Blue Vannette, A Sharehouse known as "477." The Hobart Rivulet, The Republic Bar, the "Cartela," Australia's oldest commercial ferry. Sailing away to stardom, "To the bridge!" 3 Redheads. Drummers come and go. The Scottish one stays. Bass players come and go. The one in the Ninja suit stays (the mad one is welcome too). Lead Vox goes... But yay! All is not lost. We will indeed Riot once again. Yes, we will Riot in the name of truth, lies, love, hate, places, friends and the sweet, unbearable mysteries of life.
