In the true maverick spirit of being modern young men with modern young fringes and fresh open minds Rob The Rich say they are influenced by what they are currently listening to, which happens to be Rihanna, Beyonce, Yeasayer, Arcade Fire and Phoenix. More specifically Rob The Rich say, "We think Born Ruffians and Beirut are really good and like to think we have a wee bit of both in our quietly aggressive tropical pop music." Wise words indeed. And it is this very tropical pop music which has seen them nab support slots with Jack Penate, Pete & The Pirates, Everything Everything and other such fragrantly inventive spirits.
