2008 with Ra Ra Rasputin

We played two fantastic shows this month. The first was at Luna Lounge, in lovely Williamsburg, Brooklyn New York. Much love to our friends and family who braved the miserable weather to come see us make a huge racket. Extra special love to the Dance Party who helped set up such a fantastic show.
The second was at Rock and Roll Hotel, and wow...what a show. The crowd was so large and energetic. The other bands (Kodiak, Bottles/Cans and Once Okay Twice) were friendly and defintely ready for a party. What a banger!! A wonderful way to start off the New Year.

We're currently in the process of writing new songs and making demos. But keep an eye out for us towards the end of February/early March. Big things are coming for 2008.

Oh a little surprise. Here are some lovely photos taken by Kelley Sayre. For more photos from that night: www.myspace.com/kelleytphotography

OH MAN WE'VE BEEN BUSY

We're running with all cylinders firing. In the last month we've played:

*A church show somewhere in Adelphi, MD
*Red and Black
*Rock & Roll Hotel
*Black Cat

Phewwwwww.

And it don't stop!! Next week we're playing the Hosiery(11/30) and Velvet Lounge(12/1).

More photos coming soon.

BLACK CAT BLACK CAT... A LITTLE CHANGE FOR THE RASPUTNIKS!!!

Need we say more?

October 25th 2007 at Rock & Roll Hotel

This will be our biggest show to date. We are beyond excited to be playing with Jukebox the Ghost and Travis Morisson. We're a little bit nervous, but that's natural.....Comically enough, however, three of the Rasputniks have been sick! Ear infections, stomach ailments, and the dreaded common cold are getting in the way of the music! But don't fret. We'll be fine come the 25th. Please, clear your calendar and come out to NE for a real good time.
