RIFFS AND FRAGMENTS

just to be the next to be with you

About Me

riffs and fragments is a bunch of people who are lovers of various forms of music, poetry and photography (and beer and wine) who get together for a big ol jamboree once a month in waterloo. working and performing together we will rock you. come be part of it, you never know you might learn something, you might just drink beer, you may even bag yourself a life partner, you wont find out unless you try. its like dr pepper.

the music on this page is by people who have played at riffs.

the next event... is in september. we are on holiday

We also publish a monthly zine. It's called Lick Clean the Food Bowl. This is the cover of our launch issue. You can get it if you come to Riffs or some shops on Lower Marsh...

this is a poem by wayne smith. he is a bit of a cock but lets not judge him by his character, instead let us judge him by his poetry...
