I Predict a Riot!

Mix six musical minds from Syracuse, throw in some old school instrumentation with an updated twist and leave on stage for one night at Schubas. Lame cooking references aside, Ra Ra Riot is a band worth watching. Falling somewhere in between Wire and a toned-down Arcade Fire, Ra Ra Riot's music incorporates keyboards,violin and even cello. After suffering the loss of drummer John Pike in 2007, Ra Ra Riot is back on the road with an acclaimed live show. -Sara
