Ra Ra Riot

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
For a band that’s barely two years old, the chamber-rock group Ra Ra Riot has done a lot of growing up. The Syracuse, N.Y.-based group has earned big buzz during CMJ and South by Southwest appearances and logged long hours on tour. They’ve also endured the loss of a co-founding member. Ra Ra Riot joins us to talk about their new full-length album, The Rhumb Line. And, the six-piece group plays live in our studio.
