Consuelo's Revenge
Rustic folk from Consuelo's Revenge kicked things off in front of a packed house chock full of music lovers that had all the beautiful ladies kicking their heels in the air and dancing up a storm. A sound that takes me back to the outlaw country types like Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson, Consuelo's Revenge are by far one of the hottest bands performing in Providence today. "Smile", "Black Ball Row", "When I Die", "Pasadena", "Freedom", "Just The Drugs", "Wake Me Up", "Leave The World Behind", "Alex's Waltz" and "Henry Lee" had the crowd rejoicing and everyone grooving to their rhythmic tunes. Consuelo's Revenge will be embarking on a kickstarter page to raise funds for the making of their debut album, keep your eyes peeled on the interwebs so you can do your part in helping an amazing band make their music for everyone to enjoy.
Boo City
The black country soul rocksteady sounds of Boo City took the floor next and continued the night of dynamic music to the delight of the audience. Bringing the funk, soul reggae, blues that make up one of best ground-breaking acts ever, it's always a good time when Boo City plays. "Go And Tell Yo Mama", "Take It Easy On Me", "Tiny Little Daggers", "Bring It On Home", "You're No Good", a hip-hop infused reggae jam session followed up with "Closer" had everyone going crazy and the room was jumpin'. Boo City will be playing with the godfather of soul power Ty Jesso at Local 121 on January 26th and they have their brand new Anchortown EP available, you better get it because it'll put you in a state of absolute bliss.
