Ra Ra Riot – Beta Love
Stream: Ra Ra Riot – Beta Love
With their third full length set to drop next week, Ra Ra Riot is currently offering a full stream of the forthcoming Beta Love right now at via their YouTube Channel. The band is set to play a sold out show at Webster Hall on Jan 25, but they also just announced a record release show on Jan 22 at the Music Hall of Williamsburg which will be live-streamed via The Bowery Presents Live YouTube Page.
Beta Love marks the band’s first outing as a four piece with members Wes Miles on vocals, Milo Bonacci on guitar, Mathieu Santos on bass and Rebecca Zeller on violin forming the core of the group. Beta Love’s songs are informed by the works of cyperpunk novelist William Gibson and futurist Ray Kurzweil’s musings on the technological singularity and transhumanism.
Ra Ra Riot also recently stopped by WNYC’s Soundcheck for a chat and to play some music, you can listen to that session here.
