Ra Ra Riot are an American indie rock band from Syracuse, New York. If you like bands such as Tokyo Police Club, Vampire Weekend and Passion Pit, than this is a band for you.
Ra Ra Riot have two albums, their debut album "The Rhumb Line" which was released in 2008 and their most recent "The Orchard." There are many great songs on both albums, however songs to certainly check out are "Can you tell," "Too Dramatic" and "Ghost Under Rocks."
I first saw this band live in 2006 when they were supporting the Editors in the UK. The band includes a vocalist, a bassist, a guitarist, cellist, violinist and drummer, which combined creates great upbeat tempos and smooth melodies.
I was extremely impressed by Ra Ra Riot's energized performance. All six members ran, skipped, and danced enthusiastically around the stage whilst playing their instruments and singing their songs. The crowd really responded well to this, and seemed eager to hear what they would play next.
For a fun night of music, I would certainly suggest to get tickets.
