Nouveau Riche was a short-lived band based in Philadelphia that featured Dice Raw. He founded the band, initially named the Disease, in 2005. Nouveau Riche opened for the Roots at the Kimmel Center.[1] It released two extended plays (EPs), Nouveau Riche Longtail and Free Money, before disbanding in 2008.[2] The band was also nominated for the 2007 Okayplayer Music Awards in the Rookie of the Year category, but lost to Gym Class Heroes. A full-length release called Bankrupt was planned but never released.[3]
Chase Hoffberger of The Austin Chronicle said their music "melds hip-hop and tripped-out rock music, yet this isn't trip-hop. More like interstellar pop on a positive tip.[3] In a review for the Chronicle, he wrote that "that Nikki Jean surely owns any stage she steps on. With bass amps on rattle and hum and a frantic Dominic Angelella nearly playing his guitar out of commission, Jean danced, jived, confessed, and belted all the energy a Midwest girl could bring to a troupe from Philly."[4]
