Ra Ra Riot (2010 Coachella Artists)
The Cellar Door (101 West Main Street Visalia, CA)

Contact: 559-636-9463 marisa@cellardoorvisalia.com

As anyone who caught one of these many shows quickly learned, to observe Ra Ra Riot on stage is to observe a joyful experience in progress, somehow both intensely fun and just plain intense; it's a joy that's always aware that darkness and despair may be just around the corner, that life is both beautiful and terrible, and it's a joy that is in fact amplified by this awareness. It's this bittersweet dynamic that makes Ra Ra Riot a compelling band with seemingly limitless potential. $12 Advance Purchase, $14 At The Door
