Roz and The Rice Cakes

About

Voted "Best Local Act" by a readers poll in its hometown of Providence, Rhode Island, Roz Raskin & The Rice Cakes is a trio that pens fun and quirky indie pop songs. The band's setup is sparse, primarily utilizing just bass, drums and keyboard, but the commanding vocal prowess of Raskin fills the leftover space more than well enough. Meanwhile, the bass and drums create a jittery and dynamic framework that allows the band to revel in the idiosyncrasies of Raskin's songwriting and lyricism. Anyone looking for a band that toes the line between uptempo singer/songwriter fare and late-1990s alternative rock should check out Roz Raskin & The Rice Cakes.
