RA RA RIOT performed their first show since the untimely death of drummer John Pike last night at South Street Seaport. The band performed a new track dedicated to Pike, which can be found in acoustic form on their MySpace page.

The sound guy mixed the music poorly, but Ra Ra Riot still put on a fun show.  The band dance-rocked the crowd’s faces off with their high-hat heavy beats and wonderfully executed string section.  The buzz they have been receiving lately is definitely justified. Expect big things from this band with their next release.
