In the two short years that Ra Ra Riot have been together they have taken their band from the campus of Syracuse University to crowds across North America and Europe touring with the likes of Editors and Tokyo Police Club. Their debut full length album The Rhumb Line came out this August on Barsuk. The young group recently came through LA and stopped in at The Echo where Mania TV and Spaceland Recordings captured the energy of their live show. Keeping their relentless touring schedule alive the band has recently announced a slew of new dates that you can check out at www.myspace.com/rarariot

Last month, Nicole Morier of Electrocute had a party at Spaceland. All her friends were there; The Bird and The Bee, Willoughby, The Polyamorous Affair, The Lady Tigra, Le C (King Crab), Wolfkin, Hard Place and DJ Lance Rock. But this wasn’t a birthday party, nor was it a record release party. This was a party for one man that has united the artistic community behind him. The man is Barrack Obama and the party was Obamarama. A party that raised $4,000 for the Obama campaign.

Brandon, ManiaTV and Spaceland Recordings were there to bring you into the special night as Brandon talks with The Bird and The Bee, Electrocute and gets Cliffnotes on what propositions to vote “yes” and “no” on. Performances include bits from The Bird and The Bee, Willoughby, Electrocute’s “Uh Oh”, The Poyamorous Affair’s “Whoever Controls the Groove” and Lady Tigra’s ode to Michelle Obama “First Black, First Lady” which we are making available for exclusive download over at RCRDLBL: www.spacelandrecordings.com/rcrdlbl. So go download it, throw it on your iPod and rock it straight to the polls!
