Take Vampire Weekend's producer and keyboardist Rostam Batmanglij, put him together with Ra Ra Riot's lead singer Wesley Miles - and you have Discovery. Discovery's heavy electronic sound is very upbeat, poppy, and pleasant on the ears. This collaboration's only studio album has the self-explanatory title of "LP". Discovery - Orange Shirt Download audio file (01-Orange-Shirt.mp3) The album includes a re-worked Ra Ra Riot song, as well as a Michael Jackson Cover. Ezra Koenig even makes a guest appearance on the track "Carby". [...]
![[REMIX] Ra Ra Riot – "Oh, La" (The Submarines Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4049345_lg.jpg)
we've got a lot to learn from each other, we've got to stick together ♫ Ra Ra Riot - Oh, La (The Submarines Remix) Any excuse for more Ra Ra Riot in my life is a good one. Their recent mutual remix back scratching with The Submarines is a perfect example. Grab Ra Ra's reworking of "Submarine Symphonika" here . But enjoy this one first. Maybe twice.

La primera edición del Festival 5punto5 está confirmada. Probablemente lo que más llama la atención en su cartel es que, antes de The Ting Tings, Little Dragon, y compañía, podemos ver un lugar marcado con varias "X" que podría estar destinado a un headliner todavía por anunciar. La fecha programada para el evento es el 5 de mayo en el Centro Dinámico Pegaso (sí, donde fue el MX Beat), ubicado en el kilómetro 52.5 de la carretera Toluca-Naucalpan. El precio de los boletos es de $450 más cargos y estarán disponibles a partir de hoy, 20 de enero [...]
Robert Moog fue un ingeniero norteamericano que inventó el famoso sintetizador que lleva su nombre, además de pedales y diversos instrumentos electrónicos comercializados a través de su compañía; por ello es reconocido como uno de los pioneros de la música electrónica. Como un tributo a su legado, su compañía ha instrumentado el Moog Sound Lab , que no son otra cosa más que una serie de sesiones en vivo donde artistas de todo el mundo van a la matriz de la compañía para experimentar con sus productos y explorar el mundo del sonido análogo y los efectos del [...]
Young Runaways add orchestration and a hint of nostalgia to the popular wave of indie-folk.
Tweet vaso link Mathieu Santos (of Ra Ra Riot) released his debut solo album over the summer, but I didn't see the video for the lead single, "I Can Hear The Trains Coming," until right now. And I like the giant dancing alien with the television head, and the shark gun. As similar as this sounds to Ra Ra Riot, I probably should have listened to the album more.
1,2,3 is playing a show with fellow Feed The Beat artists, Ra Ra Riot, in Pittsburgh this Saturday! The show will take place as part of a sound series event at the Warhol and Carnegie Museum of Art. The event was originally scheduled for November 21st, however it has been moved to this Saturday 12/17, [...]
Género: Alternative. Martes trece. Si tiramos de estereotipos, mal día para los gallegos que suelen ser supersticiosos. Amable debe ser una excepción ya que hoy es el día que ha elegido para presentarnos su tradicional disco de este 2011 que se acaba. Hoy se cumplen dos semanas desde que lo tengo en el player de mi coche, con el beneplácito de quienes me suelen acompañar, sin intenciones de ser retirado, y eso es mucho desde que me obligo a reseñar diariamente por estas virtualidades escafandristas. Sintomático, veréis. [...]
BAM! Bet you were expecting a Best of 2011 list, yeah? Well I don't got time for that (YET)! No...this is where I acknowledge all the great stuff I missed in 2010. 'Cause it doesn't get any more rock n roll than to talk about shit that's over a year old. Write that down in your How to Be Rock N Roll notebooks. Anyway, the last time I wrote this list , I spent quite a while talking about how there isn't enough time in one year to listen to all the potentially great releases and put [...]
There was nothing promising about the Ra Ra Riot show at the University of Maryland's Ritchie Coliseum on December 2nd. I didn't really know the band well. The commute from DC to College Park (the 'burbs) was going to be a mess. I was going to be surrounded by undergrads (no offense, undergrads). BUT: people I adore (aka my sister) like the band; tickets were $7; they had come through DC a few weeks before and sold out for over $20; I had three friends willing to go. Why not? And, despite [...]

Two big shows in Los Angeles tonight have been scotched at the last minute. Citing "complications with visa" in an announcement on its website, French dance-pop trio Yelle (pictured at left) posted its date at the Wiltern and rescheduled it for Monday. The band's date Saturday in San Francisco is unaffected. Tonight's show was to have been the opener of the band's "Safari Disco" tour. Ra Ra Riot's show at the El Rey Theatre has been postponed because of singer Wes Miles' continuing problems with his vocal chords , which [...]
