Another year in our wonderful little city of Providence has passed and it has been a great year for live music in The Creative Capital. A few shows happened in a few unlikely spots, some big names had their first ever shows in Providence and local acts showed that they could still put on a […]
There’s a lot to be said for music in 2015. It was a year of consistently great albums from both the independent and mainstream. A few acts came out of nowhere to deliver masterpieces while a few vets released some of their best work in years. As we reach the second half of the 2010s […]

Genres blur in today’s music. Sometimes it’s a simple merging of two styles while other times it can be very abstract and all over the place. Then there’s music that’s stunningly weird, but able to strike a chord with your senses. Psychedelic electronic trip-hoppers Black Moth Super Rainbow are exactly that, with Tobacco’s entrancing vocals […]
