The Xxodus Cafe at The Black Rep
Thursday September 17th I took off to Providence after work for the Santa Mamba show at The Black Rep. This six piece, Providence based, Latin rock band blend many styles into an electrifying live show. Gio Murillo fronts Santa Mamba providing vocals and acoustic rhythm guitar accompanied by John Medeiros on lead guitar and vocals, Nick Wade on the bass groves, with Aaron Wade on keys and vocals, John “Drum Warrior” Ferreira on drums and Gary Mendoza on additional percussion. I arrived to The Black Rep early to enjoy a few drink specials and talk with the band a bit before their set. Once the room began to fill out Santa Mamaba took to the stage and rocked the house:
The Scene – The Black Rep’s Sound Session Finale

Saturday July 11th was the culmination of The Black Rep‘s (site has inline sound) week long genre defying music festival, The Providence Sound Session. Featuring no less than 18 musical acts on two separate stages, it was responsible for the sudden outbreak of dancing in the streets all day long. Knowing the whole shebang started at noon I tried to rouse myself as early as possible. Excited for weeks, I’d been prompting my brother Tim and m’lady Nicole to come along with me for the free day of music. Nicole was brave enough to join me for the day but Tim had yet to rouse from his slumber so I set off to Providence solo to grab her, before heading down to Westminster Street.

Providence Black Repertory Company
Thursday May 7th I was right back down on Westminster again, this time at the Providence Black Repertory Company for the SEXCoffee and Fungus Amungus show. Providence Sound Sessions is a week long, genre-defying music festival hosted at various venues throughout the city, during the preceding months they hold rounds of voting in person and on line to determine the festival’s lineup for the year. This provided me a great opportunity to check out Fungus Amungus, whom I’ve heard so much about, as well as SEXCoffee, a band of whom I’d heard very little. Working a bit later than usual for the day, I was rather rushed in getting ready and heading downtown, nary a moment to eat. Once I’d secured parking and meandered my way towards the Black Rep, cigarette in hand, I realized my only dining option before my destination would be Tazza Cafe. Read the rest of this entry »
