1. a Swedish stoner rock band
2. a soul band from Adelaide, Australia
3. a side project, stylized as LowRider, by Paul Van Bruystegem, bassist of Belgian band, Triggerfinger
1. Lowrider (Sweden)
Lowrider is a Swedish stoner rock band, formed in the mid-1990s by bassist/singer Peder Bergstrand and lead guitarist/singer Ole Hellquist, along with guitarist Niclas Stalfors and drummer Andreas Eriksson.
Lowrider released the Nebula/Lowrider Double EP in 1999 together with ambassadors of psychedelic stoner rock, Nebula, who had just come into existence after their members departed from Fu Manchu. The EP was released in time for the beginning of Lowrider's European tour in 2000, when they played fourteen venues in eight different countries, co-headlining with Dozer and once with Spiritual Beggars [1]. Their debut album Ode to Io was released the same year and unleashed a controversy regarding their musical influences. Opinion in the media was divided, as although they gained critical praise from some (hailed as "Sweden's answer to all that is rocky, funky, gritty and downright rock n' roll." by Critical Metal), others dismissed them, with the ever-influential Kerrang! awarding them the "Most Convincing Kyuss Clones Award" ([2]).
After a 20 years hiatus, they came back in 2020 with a new album, "Refractions".
2. Lowrider (Australia)
Emerging onto the Adelaide music scene in late 2003, the foursome met through the city's tight knit music community after playing in different bands. Brothers Paul and John Bartlett aka Papa John and Mr Cee, teamed with Scott Duncan aka Scotty D and Joe Braithwaite to form Lowrider.
Their distinct sound has been developed organically drawing from very diverse influences including Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, The Roots, Mos Def and Erykah Badu. Lowrider will not conform to any genre or creed and have let their sound develop purely, leaving the onus on the listener to define what they are hearing. With smoothly delivered vocals over a simple ensemble of beats bass and keys, Lowrider's much anticipated album is an immaculate fusion of hip hop and soul and one of the best Australian releases of the summer.
Acclaimed local four-piece Lowrider make an emphatic return this February with their third studio album, ‘Black Stones’. Recorded throughout 2012 between the famed Red Bull Studios in Los Angeles and Chapel Lane Studios in Adelaide, the album presents a bold and exciting sonic progression for the band. To celebrate the release of ‘Black Stones’, Lowrider will take their renowned live show on the road, hitting a series of spots all across the east coast throughout March and April and kicking things off in their hometown of Adelaide on Saturday February 16th.
Since their debut release in 2008, Lowrider has embarked on an exciting transition from intimate hometown venues to sold-out national headline shows to coveted support slots on national tours for Alicia Keys, Lupe Fiasco and John Legend. Their 2010’s Round the World LP, earned them their first ARIA nomination, and saw them land on the national Big Day Out, Bluesfest and Pyramid Rock festivals. In 2012, the band headed to the US for highly acclaimed performances in LA and at Austin’s famed SXSW festival.
In 2013, Lowrider presented the fruit of their labour – ‘Black Stones’. For band members Joe, Scott, John and Paul, ‘Black Stones’ scraps any grand preconceptions and allows the undeniable chemistry between the four of them to take control. Simple, focused and proud.

Lowrider Lyrics

And when I first touched your hand baby I knew
So why you gotta be so lonely baby, come round
And if you feel your heart is breaking, I'll help it mend
And if you need a helping hand, I'll be your friend
Oh, we just gotta sit by the riverside and talk our tears dry
When the morning comes the sun's gonna shine, the sun is gonna shine
When I first saw you baby I knew
And when i first touched your hand and we played footsies in the sand I knew
About your tenderness, your sweet caress, so loving at your very best
You fill me up with fire inside, so much my tears have all gone dry
I'm waiting for one tiny sign that you would be forever mine
And if you're feeling lonely and you need someone to hold you, come on
Baby come round
And if you feel your heart is breaking, I'll help it mend
And if you need a helping hand, I'll be your friend
Oh, we just gotta sit by the riverside and talk our tears dry
When the morning comes the sun's gonna shine, the sun is gonna shine
Shine on down to your love? Hey, ey
And when people ask, hey, did some love just come your way
I can't help but tell them 'bout your
Tenderness, your sweet caress, so loving at your very best
You fill me up with fire, so much my tears went dry
So come round
Baby come round
And if you feel your heart is breaking, I'll help it mend
And if you need a helping hand, I'll be your friend
Oh, we just gotta sit by the riverside and talk our tears dry
When the morning comes the sun's gonna shine, the sun is gonna shine
Oh, yeah
We just gotta sit by the riverside and talk our tears dry, (repeat)
The lyrics to Lowrider's song "Riverside" tell the story of a person who fell in love at first sight with someone and wants to ease their loneliness. The singer reassures this person that if they are feeling down or heartbroken, they will be there for them as a friend. The lyrics speak of the initial attraction and connection between the two and express the singer's desire for a lasting relationship. The chorus encourages them to sit by the riverside and talk their tears dry, having faith that the sun will shine again in the morning.
The song's theme is love, loss, and hope. It tells the story of how two people fell in love and the trials they face together. The lyrics' power lies in their ability to evoke strong emotions and provide comfort as the singer reassures the object of his affection that he'll always be there no matter what. The beautiful melody of "Riverside" further enhances the impact of these lyrics.
