Ra Ra Riot with Bayonne at Trees

Ra Ra Riot – Wes Miles (vocals), Mathieu Santos (bass), Milo Bonacci (guitar), Rebecca Zeller (violinist), Kenny Bernard(drummer) – introduced its unique brand of indie pop to the world in 2006 and got off to a fast start. After signing to Barsuk, the band released four critically acclaimed records over the next 10 years including 2016’s ?Need Your Light?,which earned praise from NPR, Pitchfork, Entertainment Weekly, Stereogum and more. That album spawned the band’s biggest hit to date, “Water,” a collaboration with longtime creative partner Rostam Batmanglij, which has streamed more than 75 million times globally. On August 9, 2019 the band returned with ?Superbloom?, an impossibly radiant album, a selection of songs powered by the most imaginative yet indelible melodies they’ve ever dreamed up. At the same time, the band maintains the offbeat eclecticism they’ve embraced since first forming as a baroque- pop outfit back in the mid-2000s, embedding ?Superbloom?’s lavish arrangements with elements of psychedelia, new wave, punk, and country. Lead tracks, “Bad To Worse,” “Flowers” and “Belladonna” have quickly become fan favorites.
