Description

Riff Raff Radical Marching Band is an activist community band, playing rallies, protests and community events since 2011. We’ve done a few Mardi Gras parades and are lucky to be included in the floats participating in this years 40th anniversary of the Sydney Mardi Gras. We are excited to celebrate this hugely important event for queer rights, equal love and radical protest. We thank the 78’ers and allies who have paved the way for the freedom and expression of queer culture we have today. We‘re not there yet, with queers in detention and persecuted for their sexuality and gender diversity, we’ll be marching in solidarity with No Pride In Detention and No Pride in Turnbull. Together somewhere over the rainbow, is queer liberation and we’re gonna bring the music to get there, one cheesy pop song at a time.
