Tonight's eclectic show benefits the Chill Foundation, which helps at-risk, inner-city kids learn how to snowboard. Chamber-pop sextet Ra Ra Riot play exuberantly melancholic music and irresistible songs like "Dying is Fine" (with lines borrowed from an e.e. cummings poem) signal that its big break is imminent. Noise-pop shoegazers A Place to Bury Strangers are another riot, drawing equal inspiration from My Bloody Valentine and former tour mates Brian Jonestown Massacre. Also on the bill are Brooklyn's Apache Beat and progressive rocker Marnie Stern. Check out her take on Journey's well-worn classic — you know, the one with the train.
