Rah Rah

From Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, Rah Rah sounds like sweet sweet Rock n Roll (but good) and loves The Violent Femmes. Rah Rah consists of: Rah Rah tall guy Marshall Burns (guitar, vocals, songwriter). Kyrie Kristmanson (guitar, vocals) is a singer/songwriter and trumpeter and also a player in her other band Kyrie K-Groove. Erin Passmore (Multi-instrumentalist/visual artist, drums, vocals, guitar). Since making their out-of-town debut at Pop! Montreal in 2006, the buzz surrounding Rah Rah has been growing steadily. They were voted est Band in Regina?by a 2007 Prairie Dog Reader Poll, have played festivals across Canada, shared stages with the likes of Wintersleep, Malajube, and Bedouin Soundclash, and released their first full-length album oing Steady?via Young Soul Records (Library Voices, Polymaths, National Frost). The six piece features members of Sylvie, Geronimo, and the late Despistado. Since its release oing Steady?has received consistent air play on CBC Radio 3 (reaching #5 on the R3-30) and has charted on campus radio stations and in Exclaim! magazine for the last two months. here's just something compelling about this band, whether it's Burns's earnest delivery (shades of a baritone Neil Young), the catchy tunes underpinned by rock solid musicianship, or the fact that one of their songs calls for a sound effect created by chewing candy into the microphone.
