Straight outta’ Sydney, ‘stralia, Red Riders mounted-up rock out the final night of this year’s Red Bull Moontower in Austin – setting-off Saturday night with a bang. Entertaining the crowd with their musical rockibility and witty reparté, Red Riders made for a great kick off to the final wild night in the desert.

The red Rider’s driving brand of moody indie rock is catchy and hook-tastic: belted out by the snarky sneer of their front man/singer, Alex Grigg. The Red Riders are most certainly great at parties (Bar Mitzvah’s too, if they even have those in Australia). Check out these photos from their final show in Austin, at the Red Bull Moontower, they certainly know how to work a crowd. But, it would not surprise me if many of their witty gibes at the red-eyed and reckless crowd fell on deaf ears. After all, all this loud music has probably rendered many of the crowd members momentarily hearing impaired. I’m sure after this final night, I myself will be resorting to a bastardized form of sign language, as my ears are still ringing.
