NEW CANADIAN DATES ADDED

“WELL POISED TO BECOME THE SOUNDTRACK OF YOUR LIFE”–NEW YORK magazine

Released August 24 on Barsuk (U.S.) and Arts & Crafts (Canada/Mexico), Ra Ra Riot’s sophomore effort The Orchard has already debuted #36 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart and been hailed by NEW YORK magazine as “poised to become the soundtrack to your life.”

Now having recently completed a Japanese tour, numerous festival and pre-release appearances and a Daytrotter session that can be heard at http://www.daytrotter.com/dt/ra-ra-riot-concert/20031316-110907.html, Ra Ra Riot is continuing this series of career highs with a full-on North American tour. The tour begins with this week’s September 21-24  stretch in New York and will now run through December thanks to the addition of four Canadian dates.

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 Rostam Batmanglij). Its August 24 release date marked two years, nearly to the day, since the release of the band’s debut album, The Rhumb Line, which debuted at #109 on the U.S. album chart and went on  to sell in excess of 60,000 copies. The Orchard marks the first time Ra Ra Riot vocalist Wes Miles, bassist Mathieu Santos, guitarist Milo Bonacci, violinist Rebecca Zeller and  cellist Alexandra Lawn have been joined in the studio by drummer Gabriel Duquette, who has toured with  the band since the release of The Rhumb Line.
