One week, one band. You know the drill.
This week, the featured artist is Ra Ra Riot.
Whew, covering South By Southwest, even from here, was tough work. Thankfully though, I'm on spring break finally, and I can sit back and relax. And of course listen to some great music.
Ra Ra Riot is a crazy, high-energy band that is ambling out of Syracuse, New York. They have a nifty, novel, fast-paced style of indie-pop which blows speakers and makes smiles everywhere they go. I would say that their shows were tame if that were anywhere near the truth. Ra Ra Riot's shining moments seem to be their live performances, where they, as the kids these days say, "break it down."
Ra Ra Riot presently has one album, their self-titled EP, released. It's definitely an album you don't want to be missing. They're also touring the United States at the moment, and you can see them live if they mosey to your town. Obviously, they have a Myspace. But I recommend looking at this snazzy live performance as well.
