Monday, February 25, 2013
This Friday at Local 121 in downtown Providence, a trifecta of rock & roll excellence played The Speakeasy downstairs for what was a raucous time. Party Pigs, The Fabulous Itchies and Ravi Shavi were on the bill reinvigorating hearts and minds all over the room. The amps were turned up to eleven, the energy was at an all-time high and people were blown away.
Party Pigs
Party Pigs were up first and this duo chock full of seismic drums and guitar riffs that are guaranteed to send sparks up your spine pumped up the volume and had the power of a hurricane twirling around atomic bombs in every direction. "Blackout", "Instro", "Pretty Momma", "Separation", "AC/DC", "Fukn Party", "Back My Head", "Roadhouse" and "Pledge" was loud and peeled the paint off the walls. Party Pigs will be playing at AS220 next week on Saturday with Brooklyn band Parquet Courts and fellow Providencians Gavage, another great rock & roll show you gotta check out.
The Fabulous Itchies

"Slave Girl", "13 Women", "Things She Says", "Shot Down", "Teenage Head", "I'm a Rock N Roll", the Eddie Holland classic "Leaving Here", "Beg, Borrow & Steal", "Burn Me Up & Down", "Baby Whatcha Want Me To Do", "Ain't Got Time Enough For Love", "Kissing Cousins" and "One Upped" encompassed an awesome performance from one of the most legendary bands in Providence in the last 25 years.
