1) Ra is an American rock band, so-named for the the Egyptian sun god. Ra has been making music since the 1990s, but did not evolve into its current form until recording their sophomore album in 2003. The current line-up includes Sahaj Ticotin (vocals, guitar), Skoota Warner (drums), Ben Carroll (guitar), and PJ Farley (bass). Their music is described as "exotic yet familiar, heavy yet funky, direct yet sophisticated, sensual yet soulful, unrelenting yet cathartic."
The band released their first full-length album entitled From One in October, 2002, containing rerecorded tracks from their demo EP, One, and the two radio singles, Do You Call My Name and Rectifier. In June, 2005, Ra released their second album, Duality, with PJ Farley replacing Sean Corcoran on bass. Due to the band's financial struggles, stemming largely from their mismanagement by their label, before the album's release, drummer Skoota Warner departed the band, and did not accompany them on their April 2005 tour. Andy Ryan served as his replacement throughout touring and the band's third studio album.
In 2006 Ra released a live album, Raw, on Cement Shoes Records. With its release, the band headed out on an extensive US tour, "Congress of Corruption," as one of the tour's main acts.
Black Sun was released on Septemeber 23, 2008 under Sahaj's new label, Sahaja Music Records. A compilation of b-sides surfaced as well, it's title, Black Sheep, a tongue-in-cheek reference to their last album, featuring 12 rare tracks, including Ra's 1999 debut single "Crazy Little Voices" (from the soundtrack to "The Rage: Carrie 2") as well as a new studio track, "Supernova." The album was (re)released October 19, 2010, also on Sahaja Music Records.
In June 2012, to get Ra back in the studio, Sahaj Ticotin began a Kickstarter campaign that successfully raised over $30,000. On October 14, 2013, Ra released their fourth studio album, Critical Mass. The first single, SuperMegaDubstep, was released in July preceding the album's debut. The record marks the return of the band’s "Duality" lineup: guitarist-vocalist Sahaj Ticotin, bassist PJ Farley, guitarist Ben Carroll, and drummer Skoota Warner.
In June of 2014, Ra released an acoustic EP, The Best of Ra Unplugged, online, encompassing tracks from the One EP, originally sold while touring in 2000, through Black Sun. The EP was independently recorded and produced by Sahaj at Sun God Studios, Los Angeles, California in the United States.
