One of my friends from high school and his band, [Ra Ra Riot](http://www.rarariot.com/), will be performing on Friday, August 22 at 7 pm at Soundgarden in Fells Point. My friend, Wes Miles, is from the same group of HS friends that includes Ezra Koenig of [Vampire Weekend](http://www.vampireweekend.com/). ---

Thanks for the info! I just checked the band out on itunes, they sound pretty good. I’ll probably be there. ---

I saw Ra Ra Riot at SXSW last year, and liked them a lot; I was surprised that their debut full-length just now got released. It’s really good.
