Believe it or not, it’s been a decade since Ra Ra Riot came storming out of Syracuse University with their debut EP in 2007, collecting a ton of blog buzz and attention along the way.
A lot has changed for the band since then, but they’ve had a nice consistent career, releasing four albums with Barsuk Records and going on to tour all across the globe.
This year they released the EP for the first time on vinyl as a special Record Store Day release and celebrated it further with a sold out show at Music Hall of Williamsburg on April 22 (the same day as RSD) that was a part of a string of shows they did to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the EP.
The sold out crowd saw the band play 20 songs, including of course, cuts from the EP, favorites from across their discography, as well as two new songs.
Our photographer Jayson Yee was at the show and caught shots from the bands performance. Find them posted in the gallery below, along with their setlist.
