Hurray for the Riff Raff (aka Alynda Segarra), who just closed out a US tour as special guest of Bright Eyes, will join Ani DiFranco on tour for two weeks late this summer. The shows start at Tree House Brewing in Deerfield, Massachusetts, on August 27, and continue in upstate New York, Vermont, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa. Segarra has also added new dates to their previously announced spring and summer headlining tour, with second shows in San Francisco and Chicago and new stops in Healdsburg, California, Louisville, and St. Louis, all ahead of fall dates with The Head and the Heart.

This update follows recent release of "Pyramid Scheme," a song that encapsulates bandleader Alynda Segarra's (they/them) disdain for the alienating and undermining effects of the Internet. As the first new single since releasing their acclaimed 2024 album, The Past Is Still Alive, "Pyramid Scheme" finds Segarra “pointing to a larger feeling of social collapse that, as the song progresses, dovetails with personal struggle,” says the New York Times. With nods to Billy the Kid, Calamity Jane, Darby Crash and Frida Kahlo, their lyrics deliver “a prophetic reverie cast with troubadours, daredevils and outsiders” (Remezcla), while “railing against digital grifts and the exhaustion of trying to break through” (Queerty). Accompanied by a video from Jayla Kai Smith, “it’s the kind of modern folk anthem that gives you the shivers when you first hear it, because you know looking back in a few years, it’s going to feel even more prescient than it does now” (Billboard).
