Alt-Nation: Shows to Put a Spring in Your Step Alt-Nation: Shows to Put a Spring in Your Step Sage Francis This is a gem of a show that is flying under the radar with acclaimed hip-hop artist Sage Francis coming to The Knickerbocker in Westerly. Sage Francis has accomplished a ton with his most recent release, 2014’s Copper Gone, which came out on his own Strange Famous Records. This show also includes one of Francis protégées, B. Dolan, who last year released the excellent Kill the Wolf (Strange Famous Records). The Knickerbocker is a great place to see a show and I recommend going early and checking out Westerly as there are several places in walking distance worth hitting up. Sage Francis, B. Dolan and Ceschi will take the party to The Knickerbocker. Vertical Twin Vertical Twin are back after a hiatus that lasted a couple of years and ready to rev it up in high gear with their trademarked moto-psych-punk. I’ve always loved their record ElectroSonicMotherPhonic (75orLess Records). Karma Rocket’s disc Parts to Pieces (75orLess Records) arrived this week. It is a mix of Pixies meets Husker Du aggression with a poppy gleam that includes a hell-raising cover of “Add It Up” by the Violent Fems. Six Star General bring it with a sledgehammer rock that has bits of Sonic Youth, The Minuteman and ’70s Neil Young. Lincoln Tunnel round out this night of great music with music that draws from the likes of Replacements and Sebadoh. Vertical Twin, Karma Rocket, Six Star General and Lincoln Tunnel will rock The Parlour in Providence on March 5. The Silks / Julie Rhodes Bound to Meet the Devil CD Release The Silks, led by the best guitar slinger in town, Tyler James Kelly, kick up a ruckus of dirty early ’70s rock ‘n’ roll served up with the blues poured over like gravy. I got an advance copy of Julie Rhodes’ new record, Bound to Meet the Devil. The biscuit reminds me of a modern day Etta James with tunes like “In Your Garden” and “Skyscraper Blues.” On “Faith” Rhodes works in a gospel feel that also has a hint of Janis Joplin. Rhodes has a powerhouse voice, which combined with Kelly’s guitar player makes this one whopper of a show. The Silks and Julie Rhodes will rock the upstairs of the Columbus Theatre in Providence on March 5. WBRU Rock Hunt Finals The Super Bowl of local rock is going down again at The Met Café. Several of the semi-finals have already taken place, but I’m not sure who has advanced in the big dance. You can vote for a wild card slot at wbru.com. I wasn’t really excited about any of the semi-finalists so I’ve placed my bet on whoever emerges from the wild card vote because somebody must like them. The WBRU Rock Hunt Finals will take place at The Met Café on March 19 in Providence. The Worried /M.O.T.O. This show is a mega dosage of punk ‘n’ roll. The Worried rip it live with sleazy ’70s punk rock. M.O.T.O. mine similar territory with infectious upbeat harmonies on the choruses on tunes like “Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance to the Radio” and “Metal Man.” This show should be what comes up if one were to Google what punk rock is. The Worried, M.O.T.O. and The Hi-End will rock the Parlour in Providence on March 19. Drive-By Truckers It’s tough to believe that Drive-By Truckers are entering their 20th year spewing out alt-country laden rock. As last year’s It’s Great To Be Alive live album proves, Drive-By Truckers still deliver the goods live. They may have been eclipsed in popularity by former member Jason Isbell, but I’ve never noticed any sign of them slowing down live. Check out their 2001 double album Southern Rock Opera if you’re looking for a starting point to get amped for the show! Drive-By Truckers will rock the Columbus Theatre on March 9. Super Sonic Surf Explosion This show will kick off with a record sale with a bunch of area vendors selling their wares. As I’m currently in need of an intervention to curb my record buying addiction, going early for me would be like scoring crack. That said, I’ll probably still do it. After you score some vinyl, the music will start with an emphasis of surf punk. The night will include sets by The Buzzards, The Mad Doctors, The Nebulas and Future Spa. The Super Sonic Surf Explosion will go down at Firehouse 13 in Providence on March 12. The 2nd Annual Providence Tattoo & Music Festival The 2nd Providence Tattoo & Music Fest will take over both rooms at Fete Music Hall. The show will include a ton of vendors from tattoo shops, other vendors including sponsor Boneyard Wings and live music. The bands playing include Revocation Gamohra, DEATH RATTLE, Carolina Burn Joint Damage, Dead By Wednesday, Pistol Shot Gypsy, SINARO, Bloodline Theory, Fear The Masses, Proxies and Blind Revision on the Ballroom stage. Bands rocking the Lounge stage include Overwith The River, Neva Shred of Salvation, All For Blood, HEMLOK, Apollo’s Resurrection, 6 Foot, Silence Those Alone, Red Kingdom and Affliktion Revelater. Good wings and rock ‘n’ roll… mmm sign me up! The 2nd Annual Providence Tattoo & Music Festival comes to Fete on March 19. Titus Andronicus and Craig Finn I’m amped for this show because Craig Finn is the lead singer of one of my favorite bands, The Hold Steady. Finn released a solo album, Faith in the Future, which was one of last year’s best. The record kind of scares me because it was a better record than the last two The Hold Steady records, which makes me worried about the band’s future. Finn’s solo stuff is much quieter than the swinging barroom rock of The Hold Steady. Faith in the Future just felt less forced, allowing more room for Finn’s narratives than the recent offerings from The Hold Steady. Last year Titus Andronicus released a rock opera, The Most Lamentable Tragedy (Merge Records), that delves deep into mental illness. Certainly not an easy subject to tackle and create something enjoyable to listen to, but I loved the album. Tracks like “Mr. E Mann” and “I Lost My Mind” have a Springsteen- like fervor that just grabs and raises you spiritually. “Lonely Boy” reminds me of Sally Can’t Dance-era Lou Reed. “Look Alive” is a punk rock rave up, but there are plenty of interludes and it’s really best to listen to the album as whole for maximum impact. The album is an autobiographical account of the struggle front man Patrick Stickles battles with mental health. Titus Andronicus has had many members over the years, including Deer Tick’s Ian O’Neil. Titus Andronicus and Craig Finn will rock the Met Café on March 26. PJ Harvey Cover Show PJ Harvey has influenced musicians for over 20 years with her mix of alternative rock meets the blues and straight-forward rock. She has been probably the most influential feminist in music over the past two decades while saying little about the topic. Ms. Harvey lets her music and presentation get her message across like a sledgehammer. For this show, mostly local musicians will be doing their favorite Harvey tunes. Performers include Karen Orsi, Francesca Caruso and Tayla, Gertrude Atherton, Me Jane, Johanna Walczak & Ladies, Florence Wallis and Orion Rigel Domisse, Bill Keough, Jennifer Avery, Malyssa BellaRosa and Hilary Jones. The show is a benefit for Girls Rock! Rhode Island. PJ Harvey Cover Show comes to Aurora in Providence on March 27. Joe Satriani Guitar wizard Joe Satriani comes to town for his Surfing to Shock Tour celebrating “30 years of Mind- Bending Guitar Daredevilry.” I don’t really see any elements of surf or shock entering into this show, but “mind-bending guitar daredevilry” is guaran-damn-teed. So if you’re into instrumental guitar sorcery, this is a rare chance to catch one of the all-time greats! Joe Satriani will rock The Vets in Providence on March 31. WBRU April Fools Bash WBRU is bringing back their Aprils Fools Bash with a bang with a rare rock ‘n’ roll show at the Dunk. Cage The Elephant headlines this party, but I’m also stoked for Silversun Pickups who put on a memorable show at Lupo’s a few years back. Most of the lineup deals in traditional modern guitar rock, but they do it well. This show is no prank — get your tickets before they are all gone! WBRU April Fools Bash featuring performances by Cage The Elephant, Silversun Pickups, Foals and Bear Hands will rock the Dunkin’ Donuts Center in Providence on April 1. Iggy Pop The Godfather of Punk returns with a new album, Post Pop Depression, produced by Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age. The album is supposed to be inspired by the sound of Iggy’s late ’70s collaborations with David Bowie on the Lust for Life and The Idiot records. The tracks I’ve heard have lived up to that description. Iggy is one of the best live performers of all time and Homme is playing guitar on the tour. This is well worth the trip to Boston. Iggy Pop will tear the Orpheum in Boston a new one on April 11. Jonathan Richman I’ll never forget the first time that I saw Jonathan Richman live upstairs at the Middle East.

    SILICA Releases New Video RI-based SILICA has finally released their long-awaited visual to the hit song “Wind-Up Doll” and it lived up to fans’ expectations. SILICA is known for their unique and creative approach to pop rock music, which has always helped them stand out as a band. The lead singer, Lauren Cloutier, has a deep role in band’s creative process as the main writer and director for SILICA’S pieces. “Wind-Up Doll” is very easy to listen to, and has a soft vibe that makes it the perfect tune to listen to during long rides or nights where time feels like it has stopped. The lyrics will certainly touch home for many listeners; it describes being vulnerable to others’ mental abuse, which many of us can relate to. The visual is well put together and certainly helps show the true talent Cloutier has as an artist and how well SILICA works together as a unit. For information: thisissilica.com. Check out the video for “Wind-Up Doll” here: youtube.com/watch?v=dLbSkRGJ5fo&feature=youtu.be Get Excited, Mallrats!: Strip Mall is working on an album Despite the quarantine, local musicians are still working to put out new music. Like most bands before the 2020 pandemic hit, Strip Mall was playing shows and getting their sound out to Providence locals in anticipation of a new EP estimated to come out in the fall. Strip Mall is a newer PVD-based emo band out of Warwick, Rhode Island. The band consists of three members: Vinnie Ortez, Jack Anderson and Nick English.

  • Grouplove/51765840/1?Loc=Interstitialskip
    December 9, 2011 http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/ontheverge/story/2011-12-06/on-the-verge-with-indie-rock-group-grouplove/51765840/1?loc=interstitialskip Grouplove grew out of friendship By Korina Lopez, USA TODAY Group love, indeed: This Los Angeles-based quintet certainly lives up to its name. "We never planned to be a band. We were friends first and we just love being together," says lead singer Christian Zucconi. "Grouplove grew organically from that love." Their debut album, with the tongue-in-cheek title Never Trust a Happy Song, is quickly spreading the love, too. Their sweet and savory mix of jangly, upbeat melodies, Zucconi's anguished howl and keyboardist Hannah Hooper's coquettish backup vocals have been making the rounds in indie rock circles and on the charts. Joyful, noisy single Colours peaked at No. 12 on USA TODAY's alternative chart. Another track, Tongue Tied, lassoed the new iPod Touch commercial, which ran during the Grammy nominations concert and has continued since Thanksgiving. Add Grouplove's lock as the opening band for Young the Giant's tour in March and April, and it's no wonder they're so lovey-dovey. Happy accidents: Zucconi wasn't always this upbeat. "Before Grouplove, I was in other bands, but the timing never seemed right," he says. "I'd wake up every day depressed, I spent so many years miserable doing music. But it's wonderful now how we overcame everything together. It's funny that Grouplove is such a happy band." The band members met each other in 2008 at an artist commune in Crete.

  • Joy Comes from Within Preacher: Rev
    Joy Comes From Within Preacher: Rev. Lauren Lorincz Date: December 13, 2015 11:31 “Joy Comes From Within” Pilgrim Church UCC, December 13, 2015, (Luke 3:7-18) Third Sunday of Advent It’s commonly accepted that people only have six emotions we’re capable of feeling. Take a moment to consider how you feel right here, right now. Tired is not an emotion just in case that’s your first thought. Psychologists would say that we can feel: happy, sad, surprised, afraid, disgusted, or angry. Hopefully not many of us are angry or disgusted at the moment, but it’s fascinating that our range of emotions isn’t as expansive as we may assume. When I was doing Clinical Pastoral Education, we had to identify our feelings using only four emotions: glad, sad, bad, or mad. Those were our only choices—and we were expected as chaplains to identify how we felt before and after every interaction with patients. Glad, sad, bad, or mad and ask ourselves why did we feel that way. If we had to identify John the Baptist’s emotional state as we just heard in the Gospel of Luke it would be mad. I don’t know about you, but I don’t typically call folks “broods of vipers” when I’m feeling glad. John was legitimately mad—people were being terrible to each other and life was difficult enough without people making each other’s lives even worse. He’s out there in the wilderness telling people to take better care of one other, what’s wrong with you people?! If you have two coats, share with someone who doesn’t have a coat at all.

  • CTE Bio Unpeeled
    Cage the Elephant UNPEELED You can’t talk about music in this century without mentioning Cage the Elephant. They are the last of the great bands — or perhaps, based on new album Unpeeled, the first of the great new ones. They trace their nervy, seditious lineage from that same uncompromising place that gave us Between the Buttons-era Stones, the Pixies, the Stone Roses, the Velvet Underground and Iggy Pop. In fact, it was as if Bowling Green, Kentucky’s second-most famous export had been born full-blown and knowing when they first burst out on a stage in the early days of 2006, regurgitated whole out of the music's murky past with their platinum hair, sunglasses and Doc Martens. Mysterious, a little troubled, with an unstudied cool, a reckless charm and the striking looks of the young Yardbirds and the rakish confidence of the early Stones. “We had this picture of what a rock ‘n’ roll band was supposed to be when we started,” says vocalist Matt Shultz, who fronts the sextet comprising brother Brad on rhythm guitar, drummer Jared Champion, bassist Daniel Tichenor, lead guitarist Nick Bockrath and keyboardist Matthan Minster. “In my younger years, I definitely tried to play into personas that often hindered the material’s ability to be truly effective. Then as years passed I started wanting to shed some of that creative baggage.” That might have been the most important lesson the band learned working with Dan Auerbach, who produced Cage’s 2015 Grammy- winning Tell Me I’m Pretty album. He helped them chip away at all the things that stood between them and their songs, uncovering their own raw power.

  • THE SMITHEREENS Bio
    THE SMITHEREENS bio Pat DiNizio—vocals, guitar Jim Babjak—guitar, vocals Dennis Diken—drums, vocals Severo "the Thrilla" Jornacion—bass "I think it's as good as anything we've ever done," Pat DiNizio says of Smithereens 2011 , the Smithereens' first album of original songs in 11 years. "I hate to use the term 'comeback album,' and it certainly wasn't planned that way, but it really feels like it," adds his longtime bandmate Jim Babjak. "It has the raw vibe of our early albums, while showing that we're moving forward and that we're still at the top of our game after 31 years." Indeed, the 13-song set shows the New Jersey-bred quartet to be making some of the most urgent music of their three-decade career, delivering their timeless brand of punchy, heartfelt rock 'n' roll with as much fire as ever. Such instantly memorable new tunes as "Sorry," "One Look At You," "A World of Our Own" and "Rings On Her Fingers" exemplify the Smithereens' trademark brand of punchy melodic songcraft, driven home by DiNizio's expressive vocals and emotionally complex lyrics, along with fiery ensemble performances that show off the uncanny musical chemistry of longstanding musical partners DiNizio, Babjak and Dennis Diken, and later addition Severo "the Thrilla" Jornacion, who joined in 2006. Smithereens 2011 's title slyly acknowledges the fact that it's the band's 11th studio album, and that it's been 11 years since their last collection of original material. The album's moniker—as well as its cover design—also pays tribute to the foursome's beloved 1989 release Smithereens 11 .

  • Een State University U3bary 31^^71 Ii 428619
    no./Zfi AN ANALYSIS OF TIME IN THE POETRY OF THOMAS HARDY John F. .Noonan A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 1969 Approved by Doctoral Committ \dvi s Department of English EEN STATE UNIVERSITY U3BARY 31^^71 II 428619 ABSTRACT The presence of gloom in the poetry of Thomas Hardy has been noted by critics since the appearance of his earliest volumes. His occasional buoyancy has also been verified in critical studies. This dissertation has explored this range of responses to life in Hardy’s poetry using his treatment of time as the central reference. In those poems that take a dim view of reality, time is often seen as the villain. It is the invisible force which separates men from the joys of childhood and the boundless aspirations of youth, and it is nearly always part of the reason why the present is painful. A regular cycle can be observed: men move in time from faith and felicity to skepticism and sadness. The future, too, is frequently colored gray by Hardy, as he sees there one more threat to the human quest for happiness and contentment. But Hardy’s attitude toward the future is not consistently gloomy. Throughout Collected Poems one can find numerous instances where he reveals a glimmer of hope that life will eventually take a turn for the better. These poems show clearly the redemptive role played occasionally by time In Hardy’s poetry, and argue the invalidity of applying the label "pessimistic” to all of his work.

  • The Velvet Underground New York Art
    300 Park Avenue South Tel. (212) 387-3400 New York, NY 10010 Telefax (212) 387-3535 Rizzoli International Publications, Inc. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Joshua Machat 212.387.3410 / [email protected] THE VELVET UNDERGROUND NEW YORK ART Edited by Johan Kugelberg Introduction by Lou Reed and Maureen Tucker Preface by Vaclav Havel with text contributions by Doug Yule, Sterling Morrison, John Wilcock, and Jon Savage Timeline by Salvatore Mercuri THE VELVET UNDERGROUND: NEW YORK ART (November 2009) is the first monograph devoted to a Rock and Roll band. The Velvet Underground were among the New York avant-garde who closed the gap between the popular arts and the fine art movement of the 20th century. With Andy Warhol at the helm, the band contextualized the hi-art/low-art medium of the dysphoric Sixties with a unique mixture of sound experimentation, performance art, and pop sensibility. With an astonishing assembly of rare objects and artworks and the first book of its scale to document the formative years of the band, The Velvet Underground: New York Art, is not only a testament to one of the greatest New York City bands, but also a visual document of how music can influence the history of fine art and vice versa. From never-before-seen photographs of the band’s first live show in New York to Andy Warhol’s cover and poster designs, Lou Reed’s and John Cale’s handwritten music and lyrics, underground press clippings and controversial reviews, flyers, handbills, and posters, the materials comprise a uniquely comprehensive survey of the first rock group ever to transcend the genre and embrace underground popular culture.
