Hailing from Vermont, the band's roots rock, funky blues and soul-charged repertoire explodes with melodic crescendos, gentle lyricism and fiery youthful intensity. The Nocturnals' driving sound and Potter's exquisite, soaring voice have already earned comparisons to Norah Jones, Bonnie Raitt, Janis Joplin and The Band. On its new self-titled EP, Suffrajett incorporates rock jams, heavy funk basslines and aggressive rhythms with leadsinger/power girl Simi providing searing vocals. Bettye LaVette, also known as "The Great Lady of Soul," began her career back in 1962, and has enjoyed tremendous success in the R&B recording field, on the Broadway stage and more. Sarah McCleave and Darren Bancroft make up this singer/songwriter band with dreamy folk psychedellic songs.

Friday 2/1/2008 10:00 PM 18+ $10.00 The Onion AV Club welcomes... Ra Ra Riot with Guests While most bands spend their first year fighting over rehearsal schedules and playing shows for their parents, Ra Ra Riot managed to spread its sound at ludicrous speed. In less than one year, this group of overachievers has somehow melded six musical brains together to form one collective force hell-bent on making fans move in time with every pluck, pound, strum and bow. The group’s spirited live shows will surely give it the staying power it needs to keep drawing fans—and maybe, just maybe, Ra Ra Riot’s sunny-side-up style will even be able to do the unthinkable and put Syracuse on the map for something other than snow.
