Red River Dialect: A thank you & some futures

A thank you & some futures

Thanks & love to everyone who contributed to the pressing of our record through the indiegogo fundraiser - we've scraped enough that we can afford to do both vinyl & cd pressings, they should be arriving through your door in early July.

In other news we're excited to be playing some full band shows in July (& we'll have those records to sell too), one of which will be on July 21st at Stainsby Festival in Derbyshire alongside our friends The Female Thief, and folk legend Steve Tilston. You can check that out by clicking here, looks like a great event.

Preceding that we will be playing a show in London on July 18th at Power Lunches Arts Cafe, & then we have a slot opening for Thomas White at the Green Door Store in Brighton on July 19th. If anyone out there would like to have us play in their town or village around that time we are very much open to suggestions, so please write to us at redriverdialect@hotmail.com

Although the indiegogo campaign is over, the record will soon be available to pre-order via our bandcamp page, where you can still hear clips of the record & download two of the songs.

David & Red Rivers.

Press & Reviews

“fervid three-guitar + fiddle workouts. You could place them as an Anglo-celt analogue to folk-rock churners like Arbouretum and, especially, PG Six, though there’s something of The Waterboys circa “A Pagan Place” in there, too.” John Mulvey, UNCUT

“Red River Dialect are interesting in that they appear to fuse this traditional strain of inclusive, rabble-rousing folk rock with more adventurous, psychedelic influences that place them right at the genre's cutting edge… (they) are obviously neither bandwagon-jumping dilettantes nor finger-in-the-ear luddites, but experienced musicians and long-term enthusiasts whose fusion of styles is always in service of the song…

Awellupontheway fuses folk-rock's past with its future, carrying forward the energy, urgency and melody that has long served the form well, and merging it with the more experimental, avant-garde approach of some of our most exciting guitar bands… Red River Dialect is a language open to all.” The Quietus

“Morris’s songs, eight of them here, take the lilt and roll of British sea chanties and blow them into amplified, feedback-droning, violin squalling anthems. This is, no kidding, one of the best folk-derived, psych-filtered rock albums of 2012, a great hoary rampaging beast of a record that rakes bloody, violent claws through the symmetries of traditional folk.” Jennifer Kelly, Dusted Magazine.
