Ra Ra Riot Again Tonight!

Man, I love me some Ra Ra Riot. Or as Ed so tactfully put it, "I'm on their dick." Either way, our calendar seems to be missing their show tonight at Yale. They will be at the Calhoun Cabaret at 189 Elm Street with Bottle Up & Go, Sea Sick, and Lady Lovelace and the Calculator Death Machine. Bottle Up & Go was with the band last night at Wesleyan, or so I thought they would be because at least I missed them. Other than that, it's a completely new show.



I've made the observation that they are 20x better live than on their album, and Jamie agreed with me. Even more of a reason to check them out tonight.

Oh, and Extra Life sucks. They played right before Ra Ra Riot yesterday and bored Ed into leaving. I don't blame him (Well, I do. He's an old man). Their lead singer didn't stand throughout the whole performance, which is a big no-no for live music. Solo acoustic shows are the exception. He also had the nerve to make fun of a guy dancing like a maniac to Ra Ra Riot, so in short your band sucks and you're a dick. Enjoy the rest of your tour.
