Six-piece chamber pop/indie rock band Ra Ra Riot formed while their members were attending college in Syracuse, NY. The lineup includes Milo Bonacci (guitar), Alexandra Lawn (cello), Wesley Miles (keyboard/vocals), John Pike (drums), Mathieu Santos (bass), and Rebecca Zeller (violin). Less than a year after forming in January 2006, the band was playing shows with The Horrors, Bow Wow Wow, and Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, with a debut EP in the works. Sadly, before it was released Pike died after he disappeared one night from a party following a show in Providence, RI. His body was later found in nearby Buzzard's Bay, near to where the party had been held. ~ Kenyon Hopkin, All Music Guide
