The Life+Times Of Ra Ra Riot

Life+Times caught up with Ra Ra Riot on the last night of the spring tour dates with The Postal Service. The band broke away from their Baroque inspired tunes and opted for more electronic based sounds full of synths for their third record, Beta Love. Despite this shift in style, the lyrical depth remains consistent amid a more progressive choice in instrumentation. The band’s bond is comparable to a marriage that has weathered the storm throughout the years despite difficult hurdles and drastic transitions. Rebecca Zeller (violinist) and Wes Miles (lead vocalist), founding members of RRR, give us their insight into Beta Love and their evolution as bandmates and friends.
