Riverman are the team behind rock band Placebo’s massive worldwide success – selling over 12 million albums worldwide. They were also responsible for Roxy Music’s 2001 reunion world tour and subsequently managed Bryan Ferry. They also manage Martina Topley Bird who’s best known for collaborations with Tricky and Gorillaz. Her current single ‘Poison’ had huge critical acclaim with the coolcut remix by Van She.
