Riddler influences

Riddler
"Quirky Electro Alt-Pop"
Riddler make music that has been compared to everything from Moloko to Tori Amos, Jools Holand to a happier version of Portishead - dark undertones for a sparkly sound. and are proud to have pleased genre-bending diverse audiences. They have gained fans from the local drunk to slightly confused label-signed artists. Their backgrounds are wide-ranging; an Artist (Lise), Biologist (Mike), Engineer (Sam), Theoretical Physicist (Dan), Computer Whizz (Hayden) and an actual (real) musician (Adam).

Reformed in early 2007, they have gone from strength to strength, and are now headlining at some major London venues. Strong song-writing, technical ability and a passion for both classic and strange sounds creates interesting, engaging live performances, sometimes said to be almost hypnotic. They have recently headlined The Troubadour (Earl's Court) major nights at the Bull & Gate (Kentish Town) & the Rhythm Factory, and regularly gig across London both independently and with renowned promoters.

Riddler are looking to their future, booking more headline slots in London as well as moving further afield, and are always producing new, original sounds to fill peoples' ears.
