LOVE RIOT Album Release Celebration
Saturday, September 19 at 7:00 PM
Join Love Riot on Saturday, September 19 at FPX Events as they celebrate the long-awaited release of Nothing Is Etched In Stone, their first new recording in over 25 years.
Dress to impress for a night out at this stunning venue, with comfy seats, a well-stocked bar, and concessions. We'll be using the big screen to full effect, with custom visuals built for every song, plus a screening of Lisa's short film "Making the Record" before the show.
And now, the night gets even bigger. Musical comedy duo Griefcat will join Love Riot as the evening's special guest.
Musical comedy meets sharp songwriting, genre-hopping chaos, and a healthy dose of camp.
Rising musical comedy duo Griefcat emerged in 2019 as the brainchild of Annie Nardolilli and Louisa Hall, two songwriters from Washington, DC whose shared wit and undeniable musical chemistry made their collaboration feel like fate.
Now established as modern, genre-hopping troubadours unafraid of sonic experimentation, Griefcat builds on influences from Tenacious D to Dolly Parton and beyond, infusing the result with a healthy dose of campiness and a talent for tongue-in-cheek sociopolitical commentary.
That combination has earned Griefcat the backing of a diverse and growing fanbase, a standing ovation from Simon Cowell, and critical acclaim from outlets including The Washington Post.
Their third album, Dirty Laundry, dropped in September 2026, and they continue releasing singles, music videos, and live performances at a nonstop pace.
ABOUT LOVE RIOT
Some bands break up. Love Riot just took a long detour.
After 25 years away, long enough to raise families, launch a Grammy-nominated children's band called Milkshake, and live a whole other life, Love Riot is back. Remarkably, the music picks up right where they left off, as if the quarter century in between was just a long weekend.
Nothing Is Etched in Stone brings together new recordings and a handful of songs tracked in 1999, just before the band went on hiatus, and woven together, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.
That's not a trick of production. That's just who Love Riot is: Lisa Mathews, Mikel Gehl, Mark Evanko, Willem Elsevier, and "Young" Ron Campbell, five people who never stopped being a band, even when they weren't playing together.
The songs are classic Love Riot, a unique blending of acoustic and electric instruments, melodically sharp and lyrically poetic. Here you'll find a late-night drive through Baltimore with a broken heart. The exhaustion of a love that's run its course. A quiet rage at greed and corruption. A friend lost too soon. A promise to show up for the people who need you.
Through it all, the Love Riot sound is exactly what it always was: smart, warm, and emotionally honest, with Lisa's voice at the center of everything.
