About Me

Sound off 1, 2 Sound off 3, 4...

  • RIDER -- The now disbanded New York City quartet, comprised of vocalist Brooke X (formerly of Lez Zeppelin), guitarist and keyboardist Ian Wolff, bassist Nate Lithgow and drummer Max Tucker. The band took shape in 2005 and played for 2 years before moving onto different projects in mid 2007.
  • With comparisons ranging from Led Zeppelin to Big Brother and the Holding Company, Deerhoof to The Strokes, Rider managed to create an organic and dynamic female-fronted power trio unlike anything rock music had seen.
  • Rider wishes to thank everyone they met along the way and hopes you can check out what they're working on now.
