The Hope College Concert Series will host Ra Ra Riot, We Barbarians and Scars On 45 on Monday, April 11, at 8 p.m. at the Knickerbocker Theatre in downtown Holland.
Ra Ra Riot is to headline the night, drawing not only from the group's past critically acclaimed album "The Rhumb Line," but also from the band's newest offering, the widely praised full-length album "The Orchard." Having been reviewed and covered in print by the likes of "The Huffington Post," "The Wall Street Journal," "NME Music Magazine," "Rolling Stone" and NPR, the band has also had appearances on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and "The Late Show with David Letterman." Of "The Orchard," "PopMatters Magazine" has said, "Ra Ra Riot is still speaking a language everyone can understand: Love. And on 'The Orchard,' Ra Ra Riot has never spoken so clearly."
Also performing will be We Barbarians, an indie rock group whose latest album, "There's This There's That," has put the band into the ranks of up-and-coming acts like Delta Spirit, Local Natives and Tokyo Police Club. Scars On 45, a quintet from Leeds, England, will open the night.
