Just wait until you see her move on stage … hot damn!
I saw Ra Ra Riot back in February of 2009 … they were my first show in Seattle as a resident of this fair city. Scotty and I were looking at t-shirts … well, he was looking at t-shirts, I was busy looking at the girl selling the shirts. She was already intimidating enough, so it was game off, but once I found out she was the cellist in the band, it was game over … needless to say, I don’t think I said a word to her, before or after the show. Still, their live show is fantastic … as evidenced by the videos below … one is from the in-store they played at Easy Street Records in Queen Anne at the beginning of last month, which two thirds of us at Roused attended. The second was also recorded in Seattle, and is just a favorite song of mine …

Perhaps the only outcome of knowing beforehand that she was in the band would have been me being too much of a pussy to go up and buy a t-shirt. I am glad I have my Ra-Ra-Riot shirt, and it makes for a better story this way.
