Ra Ra Riot Tour Dates
Due August 24th on Barsuk Records, The Orchard follows up Ra Ra Riot’s debut album, The Rhumb Line, released two years earlier, almost to the day. The Rhumb Line debuted at #109 on the U.S. album chart and went on to sell in excess of 60,000 copies.
Ra Ra Riot also just announced an extensive North American tour in support of The Orchard. Preceded by appearances at the Osheaga and Bumbershoot festivals and a support slot for Devo at this year’s Columbus Ohio State Fair, the tour kicks off with a September 21-24 four-night stand in New York, with coast to coast headlining dates running through to late November.
The Orchard was produced by Ra Ra Riot and Andrew Maury and mixed by Chris Walla (with the exception of “Do You Remember,” which was mixed by Vampire Weekend’s Rostam Batmanglij), The Orchard’s full track listing is:
01 The Orchard
02 Boy
03 Too Dramatic
04 Foolish
05 Massachusetts
06 You and I Know
07 Shadowcasting
08 Do You Remember
09 Kansai
10 Keep It Quiet
Ra Ra Riot is vocalist Wes Miles, bassist Mathieu Santos, guitarist Milo Bonacci, violinist Rebecca Zeller and cellist Alexandra Lawn. The Orchard marks the first time the band has been joined in the studio by drummer Gabriel Duquette, who has toured with the band since the release of The Rhumb Line.
