More Than the Music: Ra Ra Riot

Ra Ra Riot is an indie band from Syracuse, NY, consisting of vocalist Wes Miles, bassist Mathieu Santos, guitarist Milo Bonacci, cellist Alexandra Lawn, violinist Rebecca Zeller and drummer Gabriel Duquette.  Formed in January 2006, Ra Ra Riot is best known for their energetic live shows, perfectly arranged layers of rhythm and for their imaginative use of cello and violin.  When on tour and while making music, Ra Ra Riot uses running to help them focus on their compositions and as an outlet to help ease the grind of touring.  More than the music, Ra Ra Riot is breaking away from the pack.
