“Snake Plant” Hurray for the Riff Raff

This way: Snake Plant

Hurray for the Riff Raff is an American band formed in New Orleans in 2007 by Alynda Mariposa Segarra, a singer-songwriter from the Bronx, New York.

As Segarra's project, the group originally performed different styles of folk music while releasing several albums independently. Alynda Mariposa Segarra (formerly known as Alynda Lee) was raised by their aunt and uncle in the Bronx where they developed an early appreciation for doo-wop and Motown. They are of Puerto Rican heritage.

Segarra became a regular attendee of hardcore punk shows at ABC No Rio when they were young. They left their home in the Bronx at age 17, spending time crossing North America, hopping freight trains.

Around 2007, Segarra became a part of the Dead Man Street Orchestra, a hobo band Time magazine documented in a 2007 photo essay.[3] Segarra traveled with the group for two years, releasing two independent albums and embarking on freight train tours across the country.
