IT’S BEEN AWHILE…AN EVENING WITH LOVE RIOT

Love Riot will be up close and personal at the Creative Alliance performance space for an intimate show celebrating their coming together after 26 years apart. Join us for a show that looks back to the Then and up to the Now.

“Love Riot encourages people coming to the show to bring along canned goods and/or new or gently used clothing. We’ll get the canned goods to MD Food Bank and the clothes to Paul’s Place. In return, we’ll give you a free button in thanks.”

“When a music video titled ‘So Much’ showed up on YouTube last week, it confirmed something that had been rumored
for months: Love Riot, one of Baltimore’s best bands from the 1990s (and probably ever), is back.”

– Dan Rodricks, The Baltimore Fishbowl

Love Riot, in its current incarnation, can trace its origins to Beyond Words, a late-80s new wave quintet popular in metro Baltimore-DC. When the band (and new wave) had run its course, the group’s core – vocalist Lisa Mathews, guitarist Mikel Gehl and bassist Mark Evanko – decided to switch gears, recruiting Willem Elsevier on violin and mandolin and reforming in 1993 as Love Riot, an acoustic quartet.
