From Barsuk In advance of their
appearance at Siren Festival this weekend, here's a little
Ra Ra Riot treat - 'Dying Is Fine'. Just consider it
something to wet your whistle while waiting for their upcoming debut
album The Rhumb Line which will be out August 19th on
Barsuk Records . They're
playing a couple of festivals soon, so if you haven't seen RRR yet and
are going to Coney Island this weekend (or Chicago in a few weeks), you should
make sure to check them out. They're simply stunning.
July 19th
- Siren Festival (Coney Island, NY)
July 26th - Wicker Park Summer Festival (Chicago, IL) Ra Ra Riot spent
late 2007 recording The Rhumb Line with producer Ryan Hadlock
(The Gossip, Blonde Redhead,
Islands). Soon afterwards, the band was on the road again,
playing over 80 shows all around the U.S, both supporting the
Cribs and headlining their own shows. The Syracuse, New York-based
quintet will be hitting every corner of the country this fall with
Walter Meego and some dates with the morning
benders. If you haven't seen 'em yet, let me know and we'll make
sure to get you in.
