Since their first show at the Kimmel Center with TV on the Radio, Deerhoof, and the Roots, Philadelphia based NOUVEAU RICHE has quickly established itself as one of the most talented bands in the post-genre music scene. Grabbing from a diverse range of influences like the Roots, the Beach Boys, and Sonic Youth, Nouveau Riche bends genres without becoming one of those genre-bending bands. Seamlessly moving through different styles, they show a fearless disregard for conventional musical rules while at the same time remaining accessible and infectiously catchy. Not quite hip hop, not quite rock, and not quite pop, Nouveau Riche is helping to define the post-genre sound.
