[edit] History

Guitarists and singers, Adrian Deutsch and Alex Grigg first met at a Black Rebel Motorcycle Club gig. Afterwards, Deutsch asked childhood friend Matt Chapman, who was then residing in New Zealand to join and play bass though he had never played bass before. Chapman then met drummer Tom Wallace on the flight back to Australia.

After playing a number of live shows - including a highly coveted Franz Ferdinand support spot - they signed to Ivy League Records.

With much airplay on national youth radio station Triple J, Red Rider's single "Slide In Next To Me" was voted in at number 96 in the 2006 Hottest 100.

Red Riders have toured with such bands as Dappled Cities Fly, End of Fashion, and performing at the Pauhaus Festival in Brisbane in 2007.

Red Riders got the idea for their new album Replica Replica from Toms Norwegian girlfriend at the time, who was fascinated by the word.
