The International Lover video, directed by Matt Amato(member of the Los Angeles based artist and directors collaborative 'The Masses') and starring Hollywood film star Billy Zane, was featured in Hollywood’s Resfest film festival.

The band played their first ever gig on the BBC’s Radio 1 John Peel Sessions. They have played and DJed alongside artists such as Hot Chip, Ladytron, Vive la Fête, Client (band), Ellen Allien, Annie (Norwegian singer) and Yelle, as well as at Kick the Trash festival in Madrid and the House Of Love Festival in Helsinki, and have toured extensively in the UK and Europe. The band has been featured in magazines such as Dazed & Confused and The Independent on Sunday, which described "Tracks such as "International Lover", "Kiss No.38" ("in the back of a limousine", indeed) and "Now We've Got Europe" display an acute appreciation of continental romance and ageless glamour".

Riviera F's debut album Another City Another Plan was released in 2010 on their own record label Germ Free.
