Last night's show at Chop Suey was solid. Sure, they threw an extra band on the bill (meaning that it was doors 8, show 8:30), but both Ra Ra Riot and The Little Ones delivered with tight sets. And yet, there was something troubling in the air. What was it?

As we have mentioned approximately nine million times before, Ra Ra Riot is a band you must see live. The Syracuse-based sextet has guitars, a cello, a violin, and energy to spare. Their music manages to be both uplifting and catchy, and their high-minded brand of articulate, orchestral pop always goes over well. Once again (as with every time we've seen 'em), they're an opening band on the bill, which makes things a little awkward when they inevitably get more of a rise out of the crowd than the headliners.
