RA RA RIOT (London Water Rats, 27/08/08)

Ra Ra Riot seemed to have all the ingredients to engage my awesome-o-meter; a multitude of members, an attractive string section, jaunty chamber-pop sensibilities. Unfortunately they’ve seemed to have mislaid the tunes somewhere along the line. They perform well enough and their closing number’s a doozy, but on the evidence here they’re less of a riot than a schoolyard scuffle.
