RA RA RIOT is an indie pop band hailing from Syracuse, New York. Their history as a band was marked with Tragedy in June, 2007 when their drummer John Pike was found dead in Buzzards Bay, MA. The band managed to move on with their project, but the event had a profound impact on their music and they went on to release their first album, "The Rhumb Line,"which catapulted their success into indie stardom. The lyrical content is extremely mature for such a young group of musicians and, Pike's death is commemorated by songs such as "Ghost Under Rocks" and "Dying Is Fine" in which lead singer Wes Miles pays tribute to their friend while maintaining a haunting, yet catchy and upbeat ambiance. With added live violin and cello, which is rarely pulled off as tastefully, their musicianship and live performance has earned them praise by the indie rock world. They haven't released an album since 2008, but still remixes are showing up, and they are heavily touring in support of the album.. you can catch them Friday at Coachella or catch them the week after when they pass through Visalia, San Luis Obispo, and Oakland.
