The Scene – Innocent Uprising at Club Hell

Kyle and Sean Nicholas of Innocent Uprisng

Thursday July 30th I gathered myself after work and headed down solo to Club Hell on Richmond Street in Providence to catch Innocent Uprising.  It had been a while since I’d had the chance to see them play out and knew ahead of time that it was Zig-Zag’s last performance as drummer for the reggae rock quintet.  Arriving downtown early with the intention of grabbing a quick dinner before the show, I was nearly heartbroken when I saw Giovanni’s Pizza was closed for renovations (it has since reopened, to much of my jubilation).   Sean Nicholas (vocals), Travis McVey (lead guitar), Kyle Nicholas (rhythm guitar), Bobby Terrien (bass guitar) and Jay “Zig Zag” Motte (drums) took to the stage and delivered a set rife with originals and spiced with some covers:

The Scene – To Hell, Jerky’s and back again

Club Hell, April 10, 2009

Club Hell, April 10, 2009

April 10th, Friday night, time to shake my bones again.  Anyone else sick of the amount of rain we’ve gotten this spring?  It was a cats and dogs kind of night, m’lady was out of town and my brother had plans elsewhere so I headed out to Providence by my lonesome for a marathon run of bands in a single night.  First off I arrived to Club Hell around 8:30pm a bit late to see the start of Forgetful Jones.

Unbeknown to me at Club Hell “Doors at 8pm” means bands start at 8:01, not the first frustrating experiance of the night.  Despite my late arrival I was on time to catch the final two songs from the first band visiting from Boston for the night.  They were certainly heavier than I would normally seek, and very polished compared to other hard rock acts I’ve seen, lyrics were sung, not screamed, and astoundingly up-beat for harder rock.  Their space declares they play rock, funk and fusion, I must have been present for their heavier rock handed ending.  I was impressed with their energy and heart in a pretty empty room, Kenyatta Savage was moving around, singing powerfully and making his stage presence known.  Jon Holland’s guitar solos were precise and melodic, doing a great job of pulling out of a solo back to rhythm.  Matt Athanasiou provided some great fills on the kit and Niles Tooher’s fleet fingers made the floor rumble on bass.  After their set I was pleasantly surprised they were going to be playing the Northeastern Quad this Tuesday, I always loved catching the bands on the Quad between classes.
