Ra Ra Rasputin LIVE THURSDAY 14TH JUNE @ WONDERLAND IN COLUMBIA HEIGHTS

(Design by AR)

We are time.....

In exactly two weeks, we'll be playing with The Ex-Husbands @ our beloved bar the Wonderland Ballroom. Despite some nerves, we are amped to turn it up.

Tonight we had a short, but eventful, rehearsal. On Sunday, we're gonna be posted up @ Girard for nearly 8 hours. Fun, Fun, Fun lies ahead, children.

Our Friends...The Husbands

Ra-Ra fans...meet the Ex-Husbands:

The Husbands are a punk-folk duo that write songs in the spirit of shoegaze and neo-psychadelic bands of yesteryear. Some similar bands are: Beat Happening, Mazzy Star, Lou Reed and the Velvets, the Primitives, Velocity Girl.
They are Haley Baptiste and Andrew Bucket. Their first E.P is called Shoes and it cost absolutely nothing to record.

Irvine Welsh thinks our band is cool. You?

Don't get the impression that Mr. Trainspotting himself came to our practice space and drank Miller Lite with us--Anna and I recently popped into our local watering hole, the infamous Wonderland Ballroom to meet the legendary Scotsman. We ended up having a little conversation about early New Order and whether or not Porno will ever be filmed.
I can't believe that one of my favorite authors was posted up just a few blocks from my house! Attention Nick Hornby.........


And without further ado, here's some photos from practice. Try not to die because we're so freaking pretty.

It's Been A Hard Day's Night

One of the more more trying tasks of a musician is figuring out a sound. Instead of sitting outside and drinking Coronas, Brock and Patrick spent all of Cinco de Mayo, working on guitar tones and amplifier settings. Dull to some, exciting for B & P. Ken and Anna got bored, then drunk and passed out in the shade.
