Ra Ra Riot on the Road

Ra Ra Riot's frontman Wes Miles is riding high with LP, debut album for his Vampire Weekend-associated side-project Discovery, but that doesn't mean his put his main band on the back-burner.

In support of the debut RRR LP, The Rhumb Line (which I thought one of 2008's best albums), Miles and crew have spent seemingly all of the ought-nine thus far on the road. And there's more to come.

First come a run of summery supports for Death Cab for Cutie; some of which will also include Andrew Bird and/or the New Pornographers on the bill. Ra Ra Riot follow these with a few choice festival dates, then roll out for a solid month of shows traipsing cross-country through the North American fall...
