Are you feeling sexy, cruisey and just a lil bit sleazy ? If not, watch this, it'll take you there ..... RiverGirl .....
..

From soft poignant ballads to funky Freo dance sounds, they offer a variety of music that captures the listener through pumping rhythms, well crafted lyrics and memorable melodies.

These musical mates come from a variety of backgrounds but are united in their aim to move, provoke and entertain. The guys in the rhythm section are Ian Stone on bass and Rowan Parekh on drums, both offering energy and dynamism in abundance. Ken Williford adds lots of class on lead guitar. On slide, harp and melodica Blew Drew does his thing

Vocals and rhythm guitar are performed by Dilip Parekh, an accomplished songwriter with a growing reputation around Fremantle.


Their debut album - 'Dont mind if I do' - was launched at the Swan Hotel in North Fremantle in mid May. Recorded over the previous year, it has 20 of Freo's finest musos helping to bring sparkle to the music. Ready for some fresh, different soundz ??
