What’s the best thing about Christmas?
Riffmas, of course.
What makes a Riff Fist Christmas so good?
Riffmas is a chance to forget about all the stress in shopping for presents and just celebrate the beginning of the holiday season in the most fun way possible: drinking a ton of beer and head-banging to some really loud riffs.
This is your third Riffmas, how is this one going to blow the others out of the water?
It’s our biggest lineup yet. Riff rock legends My Left Boot, Sydney desert rockin heroes Arrowhead, space doom deviants Motherslug, garage punk warriors Muscle Car and sludge lords Cement Pig are all on deck to provide a Riffmas feast of riffage.
What’s this Riff Kringle about?
Everyone coming to the gig is encouraged to make up a mix CD (or three). All the CD’s get dumped in a Santa sack and at the end of the night everyone gets pick a random CD out of the sack and take a bit of Riffmas cheer home with them. I’ve still got my Riff Kringle CD from last year in my car.
Give us one last reason why we should make it down to The Tote?
Besides the killer lineup featuring some of Melbourne’s greatest riff merchants, Riff Fist will be busting out some new material including an epic Hawkwind style space jam and at least one old favourite that we haven’t played for ages.
The RIFF FIST XMAS III is happening this Saturday at December 20 at The Tote. There’s a free BBQ from 7pm.
