SALVATION no. 5 with Haunt the House - Roz Raskin and the Rice Cakes

The Salvation Cafe and Trebor Llladnek present "Salvation no. 5" with the return of Haunt the House on Thursday, May 7th.

HTH will be playing this years Newport Folk Festival and this will be their last area show before the big event. Haunt the House, (Will Houlihan) falls somewhere between a bedroom whispered heart broken prayer and a brilliant repentant cry in the dark. He consistently writes songs that are simple and personal. Amato Zinno on bass and Bessie Bee plays accordion. They sold out last time they played Salvation, so we suggest you get your tickets soon! "Spooky, powerful, and affecting." -RedlineRoots

Art Rock, that's a pretty broad term. And yet, when describing Providence, Rhode Island's Roz & The Rice Cakes, the term Art Rock fits squarely in the center of any definition that attempts to describe this band's sound. But under the stuttering time-changes, the crescendos and the complex arrangements, at the heart of these songs, there's a simple pop quality that roots the band somewhere down a back alley where Fleetwood Mac and Henry Cow mingle with Bettie Seveert and Gwen Stefani. Roz and The Rice Cakes is equal parts experimental and catchy, energetic and bookish, daring and sugarcoated.

Since 2008 the group has been touring the US non-stop, either headlining or supporting such artists as Passion Pit, Andrew WK, The Joy Formidable, OK GO and Tera Melos. They have played such national stages as the Newport Folk Festival. For their first album for Team Love Records, Roz & The Rice Cake's, Need to Feed sees the band teaming up w/ producers Bern Miller and Jeff Prystowsky from the Low Anthem at Providence's historic Columbus Theatre . The results take the band to a new height in terms of tapping into their twin attributes of pop and art.
