[UPDATED] OffBeat joins with Liveset.com to present an online concert with Hurray for the Riff Raff Thursday, April 12. The band’s British debut album made The Times of London‘s Top 10 Album list for 2011, and they have a new album on the way, Look Out Mama. They’ll also perform at Jazz Fest Thursday, May 3 at 11:30 a.m. on the Acura Stage.

Liveset specializes in intimate, event-oriented concerts, and this one will be no different. The show will take place as the sun starts setting in the Lower Ninth Ward, and the stream will start online Thursday at 6 p.m.

For more info on the show, visit Liveset.com.
