Album of the Week: Queens of the Stone Age – <I>Villains</I>,Documentary <I>Finding Joseph I</I>: H.R Mike D’s Top 5 Can’t Miss Shows of October 1. Monday, October 9: The 10th Annual Pronk Fest; 2 to 9pm; Free; All ages and kid-friendly; South Water St, PVD. As the leaves turn to die and the sweaters get broken out, we are upon the final big outdoor happening of the year. Pronk is turning 10 this year, and has at least 22 bands / performers out and about Providence celebrating. Some of the performers are familiar to us, such as Providence acts Big Nazo, Extraordinary Rendition Band, and the What Cheer? Brigade. As the event has grown over the years, so has the distance from which these acts travel, such as Seattle’s Filthy FemCorps and Damas de Ferro, who are traveling all the way from Brazil. Check out their website (providencehonkfest.org ) for updates on who and where and when, and also to read their manifesto. 2. Wednesday, October 11: Beach Fossils, Snail Mail, Raener; 8pm doors/9pm show; $15; All ages; The Met, 1005 Main St, Pawtucket. There are so many good indie rock shows in Providence this month and this is one of the best. Beach Fossils released their third studio album, Somersault, earlier this year. The record is great; my favorite track from the record is “Tangerine,” which is a blissful shoegaze, but pop gem. Snail Mail were one of the breakout bands for me this year at SXSW. The band (along with other bands such as Sheer Mag and PVD’s own Downtown Boys) were the focus of a New York Times article about how the new wave of up and coming (and achieving) rock acts are female dominated. Another wise writer called that this March (motifri.com/sxsw2017). Check out the bands single “Thinning;” it will then live in your head for a few weeks. LA’s Raener open the bill. 3. Monday, October 16: Davey Moore turns 40; 8pm to 1am; Free!; All ages?; Alchemy, 73 Richmond St, PVD. What’s unique about Davey Moore, the owner of Alchemy, is that he truly cares about the local music scene more than the bottom line of his business. He wants to give everyone, from the bands to the supporters who come to see them, the best experience possible and the opportunity to go forward. For several years, he has been running The Midday Social event. The event is a showcase of a couple of local bands and includes panels of local workers in various aspects of the music business. It gives the opportunity for all to mix and get to know each other. He is a great component of the RI music scene, and what else is unique about Davey is he’s fucking old. So come celebrate his birthday, and come check out the venue if you haven’t been yet. It’s the old Jerky’s space, above the old Club Hell, next to the old Spikes. 4. Wednesday, October 18: Phoenix, The Lemon Twigs; 7pm doors/ 8pm show; $38.50 GA / $42.50 Reserved Mezzanine; All ages; Strand Ballroom & Theatre; 79 Washington St, PVD. Finally, Phoenix has come to Rhode Island. The band has been around for over 20 years, but has not played in town yet. The band is best known for the hits such as “1901” and “ Lisztomania” off their 4th album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. The band released their 6th record, Ti Amo, which moves away from their classic French pop sound, as they tried to focus on Latin roots and Italian disco. This show is the best of the upcoming shows at the newly renovated Strand Ballroom & Theatre (formerly Lupo’s). With the new sound system and killer new lights, this is the perfect spot for Phoenix. The Lemon Twigs won the 2017 Grulke Award, a prize given for best developing US act at SXSW yearly (last year was Anderson Paak). Their psychedelic jams are heavily balanced of the Beatles, but in a good way, such as Super Furry Animals. Get there early to make sure to check them out, too! 5. Saturday, October 21: Queens Of The Stone Age, Royal Blood; 7:30pm; $?; All ages; Agganis Arena, Boston. Queens Of The Stone Age are my favorite band of the last 20 years, and they never disappoint. I personally prefer the band when they groove as to when they jab. Their first single of their seventh album, Villains, was the track “The Way You Used To Do.” Like their old hit “Little Sister,” it falls under the jab category to me and still hasn’t grown on me. But their follow-up single, “The Evil Has Landed,” falls into that classic sooner riff zone that I love. I was afraid that I wouldn’t like the new record after hearing the first single and knowing that pop producer Mark Ronson (Bruno Mars, Adele) could have pushed them fully in that direction, but the record is pretty diverse and very good. Live, they are unstoppable. I think I have seen them more than 15 times at this point and hope to catch both the Boston and Portland shows. UK loud as hell duo Royal Blood open. Also worth noting: Oct 5 — Black Uhuru / Soul Shot / DJ Mike Potatoes @ Parlor Newport; Oct 6 — MadeinTYO @ The Met; Oct 7 — Route.44 / Torn Shorts @ The Parlour; Oct 8 — Scurvy Dog Mega Show; Oct 10 — Modest Mouse / Metz @ The Strand; Oct 12 — Bash & Pop / Tall Teenagers / Gymshorts; Oct 13 — The Feelies @ The Met; Oct 13 — Ministry / Death Grips @ The Palladium (Worcester); Oct 17 — Ian Fitzgerald @ The Black Sheep; Oct 20 — Wolf Parade @ Royale (Boston); Oct 20 — Hairspray Queen @ Aurora; Oct 21 — World Inferno Friendship Society / Cactus Attack / McGunks @ The Met; Oct 22 — Guns N Roses TD Bank North (Boston); Oct 27 — 311 / The Pilfers @ The Strand; Oct 29 — Lil Peep @ The Met; Oct 31 — Highly Suspect @ Fete; Oct 31 — The Viennagram @ Shelter Arcade Alt-Nation: Fresh Biscuits If one had to guess where in Rhode Island The Beach Boys Way was located, Pawtucket is probably not the first place that comes to mind. Nevertheless the City of Pawtucket did recently rename a section of Narragansett Park Drive, where the Narragansett Park Racetrack once stood, “The Beach Boys Way.” The name change commemorates the largest concert to ever take place in Rhode Island, which was when The Beach Boys played to 40,000 people at Narragansett Race Track on September 2, 1977. It is hard to believe that a Beach Boys concert could garner such headlines as “Chaos Fails to Unravel 40,000 at Concert.” The racetrack would close the following year and after a suspicious fire, most of the land went unused except for the grandstand, which was converted into a Building 19 store. The name change came about through the efforts of Al Gomes and Connie Watrous of Big Noise, a music publicity, marketing and development company. Gomes and Watrous were looking for Beach Boys memorabilia at POP: The Emporium of Pop Culture in Providence where they came across what they later found out to be the original box office poster from the 1977 concert. After researching the details further, Gomes and Watrous thought the event deserved to be commemorated, and reached out to state and local officials who agreed. So if someone ever says to meet up at The Beach Boys Way, now you’ll know to go to Pawtucket, not South County. Deer Tick – Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (Partisan Records) Four years is a long time for anything these days, but in the flavor-of-the-week world of the music business, it might as well be an eternity. Four years is also how long it has been since the last new music from Deer Tick, the album Negativity. Deer Tick are back in a big way with two very different albums that showcase the roots and raucousness of the band. Vol. 1 is an acoustic record that really showcases the band’s chops as their playing has never sounded so smooth. Dreamy love songs like “Sea of Clouds” and “Only Love” channel Big Star with a smidge of AM Gold maturity that really go beyond anything Deer Tick has ever done before. Guitarist Ian O’Neil takes over the vocals on the stirring folk styled “Hope is Big” with the lovable loser refrain — “hope is big but we’re always gonna lose.” John McCauley’s “Cocktail” has a lounge swing as he reminisces in lines like, “I spent the time that you took giving me dirty looks with a cocktail.” The track is one of the many where the contributions of former keyboardist Robbie Crowell, who left the group to pursue other projects shortly after the Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 were completed, shine through. Drummer Dennis Ryan takes over the vocals on “Me and My Man,” which manages to be a weirdly infectious slab of gold. Vol. 2 starts off with loud ringing chords of “Don’t Hurt” as McCauley, perhaps wrestling with emotions to get going again, sings “come on John, sing your stupid song.” O’Neil channels the sarcasm of Lou Reed over deliberate garage rock on “Look How Clean I Am.” Ryan’s “Wants” has kind of a Mick Jones Clash circa Give Em Enough Rope/London Calling punch. “S.M.F.” (Shitty Music Festival) swings like a sledgehammer of arena rock with big everything while recounting sardonic tales from playing the festival circuit. McCauley’s “It’s a Whale” comes racing out of the gate like a punk rock thoroughbred with lines like, “heading nowhere with the last of my kind, I’m a martyr and I live on borrowed time.” Maybe so, but I’m sure that just like both Vol.

Now, Morley has published his personal account of the life, musical influence and cultural impact of his teenage hero, exploring Bowie's constant reinvention of himself and his music over a period of five extraordinarily innovative decades. I think Britain could benefit from a fascist leader. After completing Low and "Heroes" , Bowie spent much of on the Isolar II world tour , bringing the music of the first two Berlin Trilogy albums to almost a million people during 70 concerts in 12 countries.

  • Post Pop Depression Late Show with Stephen Colbert
    IGGY POP POST POP DEPRESSION LIMITED RUN OF ONE-TIME-ONLY LIVE DATES ANNOUNCED TICKETS ON SALE TO THE PUBLIC JANUARY 29 ALBUM OUT MARCH 18 “BREAK INTO YOUR HEART” AND “GARDENIA” BOTH AVAILABLE INSTANTLY WITH PRE-ORDERS LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT WEB EXCLUSIVE PERFORMANCE HERE “Post Pop Depression... picks up where Lust for Life left off… The lyrics reflect on memories, hint at characters and offer advice and confessions; they can be hard-nosed, remorseful, flippant, combative or philosophical.”—THE NEW YORK TIMES “A slice of stratospheric punk-funk”—ROLLING STONE “‘Gardenia’ has the same sort of mean, skeletal, machinelike groove that so many of those great old Iggy songs had… over this sort of spartan groove, he sounds awesome.”—STEREOGUM “Iggy in finer form than ever and Homme’s distinctive driving guitar melodies firmly anchoring his florid vocals. Basically: it’s shit hot stuff and this album cannot come soon enough”—NOISEY “Pop gave the song a relatively restrained and poignant performance. The single, from his wonderfully titled new album Post Pop Depression,’ continues the bleak, grooving moods from his great David Bowie collaborations, and it's perhaps his catchiest new tune in a generation.”—THE LOS ANGELES TIMES “Glorious… ’Gardenia’ itself feels like a callback to the glory days of new wave, with Iggy’s trademark low voice channeling the spirit of his dearly departed friend David Bowie. Homme provides backing vocals and typically excellent guitar work.”—PASTE Its existence having been revealed to the world via a one-two punch of an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and exclusive profile in The New York Times, it can now be announced that Iggy Pop’s new album Post Pop Depression (Rekords Rekords/Loma Vista/Caroline International) will be supported by a very limited run of one-time-only live performances in specially selected venues.

  • Extension Activity
    Extension Activity - How the Banjo Became White Rhiannon Giddens is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, and found- ing member of the old-time music group Carolina Chocolate Drops. In 2017 she was awarded the Macarthur “Genius” Grant. Below are excerpts from a keynote address she gave at the 2017 International Bluegrass Music Association Conference, where she discusses the erasure of African Americans in the history of bluegrass, a genre that predominantly features the banjo. So more and more of late, the question has been asked: how do we get more diversity in bluegrass? Which of course, behind the hand, is really, why is bluegrass so white??? But the answer doesn’t lie in right now. Before we can look to the future, we need to understand the past. To understand how the banjo, which was once the ultimate symbol of African American musical expression, has done a 180 in popular understanding and become the emblem of the mythical white mountaineer—even now, in the age of Mumford and Sons, and Béla Fleck in Africa, and Taj Mahal’s “Colored Aristocracy,” the average person on the street sees a banjo and still thinks Deliverance, or The Beverly Hillbillies. In order to understand the history of the banjo and the history of bluegrass music, we need to move beyond the narratives we’ve inherited, beyond generalizations that bluegrass is mostly derived from a Scots-Irish tradition, with “influences” from Africa. It is actually a complex creole music that comes from multiple cultures, African and European and Native; the full truth that is so much more interesting, and American.

  • Dave Grohl's Growth Mindset
    ! Handout 2 - Dave Grohl’s Growth Mindset To some, Dave Grohl is the drummer from the groundbreaking Seattle “Grunge” band Nirvana. Other music fans likely know him as the guitarist, vocalist, frontman, and songwriter of the arena- filling band, Foo Fighters. Still others that have seen Grohl on the HBO series Sonic Highways or the documentary Sound City may recognize him as a music historian and film director. The truth is that Dave Grohl is all of the above. Thinking back to his childhood during an episode of the Sonic Highways series, Grohl remembers his artistic “light bulb” turning on during a family vacation to Chicago. Grohl, only twelve at the time, accompanied a cousin to a local Punk concert. It was awesome. He left the show inspired, asking himself, “why can’t I do this?” Then, he realized he could. Once home in Springfield, VA, a Beltway suburb about thirteen miles from the White House, the young Grohl tapped into D.C.’s thriving Punk scene. He befriended members of the local music community such as Ian MacKaye, a go-getter who played bass in Teen Idles, sang in Minor Threat, and later handled guitar and vocals in Fugazi, all while co-founding the Dischord Records label. In the mid and late 1980s, the major record labels, radio, and MTV--basically all the national tastemakers--were mostly focused on Glam Rock, Synth Pop, and Michael Jackson. D.C. Punk wasn’t even on their radar. But, rather than get discouraged or bitter about the lack of outside investment, many in the D.C.
