Ra Ra Riot at Upstate Concert Hall

ra ra riot 2012

Indie chamber pop (or whatever you call it) group Ra Ra Riot will be back in town for a show at Upstate Concert Hall December 11. Tickets are $14 ahead / $16 day of. They go on sale this Friday (October 12).

The opener for the show is Guards.

Ra Ra Riot started at Syracuse University in 2006, and found success pretty quickly (and with reason -- they were good). This year they've been working on a new album -- without cellist Alexandra Lawn, who left the band. That might not necessarily be a big thing for some acts, but strings have been a central part of their music (violinist Rebecca Zeller is still with them). So it'll be interesting to see how things have turned out.

It's a colossal social failure that starts with the breakdown of families and then circles back around to more breakdown of families. I've lived next to drop-outs, and I've seen firsthand the lack of parenting that sends the signal, passed from generation to generation. No magical teacher or administrator is going to reach down and counter that effect.
