Ra Ra Riot Devote Lives to the Road

Ra Ra Riot have finalized their touring plans for the coming months and, well, they're a doozy. If you think starting things off with six South by Southwest shows are rough, wait 'til you see how things play out from that point on, as the band opens for the Cribs in some cities and co-headlines with the Little Ones in others between a March 17 stop in Athens and a May 16 gig in Pomona, CA.
