2006年組成的樂隊，myspace的冠軍樂隊，曾憑著一張EP Ra Ra Riot被大家所熟知，這是樂隊發行的第一張專輯，前樂隊靈魂人物John Pike在2007年不幸去世，樂隊成員們承受著巨大的悲痛，繼續John未完成的音樂之路。 chamber pop/indie rock band Ra Ra Riot formed while their members were attending college in Syracuse, NY. The lineup includes Milo Bonacci (guitar), Alexandra Lawn (cello), Wesley Miles (keyboard/vocals), John Pike (drums), Mathieu Santos (bass), and Rebecca Zeller (violin). Less than a year after forming in January 2006, the band was playing shows with the Horrors, Bow Wow Wow, and Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, with a debut EP in the works. Sadly, before it was released Pike died after he disappeared one night from a party following a show in Providence, RI. His body was later found in nearby Buzzard's Bay, near to where the party had been held.
