IN THE NEWS:
Indie rockers Ra Ra Riot have tacked more shows onto their in-progress North American tour in continued support of last year's "The Orchard."
The second edition of Truck America also will feature Wye Oak, Vetiver, Real Estate, Fruit Bats, The Low Anthem, Richard Buckner, Alberta Cross and Au Revoir Simone among the artists performing during the three-day event.
Although the New York indie rockers Ra Ra Riot kicked off their spring tour last week behind their second studio set, "The Orchard," it's a safe bet the members of the band have last summer's tour on their minds. The first month of last year's outing took place in Japan. Earlier today, the band tweeted, "Ra Ra Riot Hope all of our friends in japan are ok. This is awful. We just woke up and heard the news."
A rainy Labor Day Monday -- the final day of the 40th installment of Bumbershoot -- showed just how accustomed to wet weather Seattlites are. Fans simply took out their parkas and carried on, enjoying the music.
Following a Japanese run, New York indie-rockers Ra Ra Riot will return to North America for a lengthy summer and fall outing in support of their forthcoming sophomore set, "The Orchard."
