Rio Rio is a five-piece San Francisco indie-pop band with hook-laden vocal melodies, cinematic keyboards, nimble guitar work, and singalong choruses all wrapped in a tight, danceable package that is winning over fans across the San Francisco Bay Area.
They've drawn comparisons to bands such as Passion Pit, We Are Scientists, and Two Door Cinema Club.
When their singles “Gorilla Gorilla” and “Last Flight” garnered over 65,000 plays across Hype Machine affiliated blogs like Indie Shuffle and It's All Indie, they were featured in a Nike video and chosen to headline NBC Bay Area's first ever monthly music showcase, The City: SF Sounds. The band played an opening slot before a sold-out crowd.
The NBC show – sponsored by Jack Daniels and San Francisco's Alice 97.3 FM – was such a success that only a month later, Rio Rio headlined NBC's next event at an even larger club and played to another capacity crowd – this time, their own. Maybe it's the songs, maybe it's the show, but Rio Rio is a band that knows how to win over fans.
Rio Rio has also played around San Francisco and Oakland at venues like Bottom of the Hill, Monarch, 50 Mason, Thee Parkside, RockIt Room (Neck of the Woods), Stork Club, and more.
Recently, they've taken this momentum into the studio with Andy Freeman (Eisley, Manchester Orchestra) and recorded an EP for release in Fall 2013.
