The Scene – To The Oceanmist for the Amber Bettez Benefit
Posted by Sully in Live Review, The Scene on October 18th, 2009
Friday July 31st after working a bit late I gathered my show going kit (i.e. manpurse stuffed with fliers for my blog, a notepad, pen, camera, spare batteries, and spare flash card) I hopped in my car and took the hour journey south to the Matunuck area of South Kingston and The Oceanmist. In addition to the normal motivation of five great music acts, it was for a great cause. Amber Bettez, lead singer of The Law and owner/designer of Silver Tides Jewelry was diagnosed with a brain tumor, after some dangerous and costly surgery she is in the clear and recovering. Being a self employed artist and musician, she’s without health insurance, an all too common problem in our United States these days, and is left with a medical bill only surpassed by my student loan debt. Gathering friends and bands, Low B organized the show to help Amber and her family foot the bill. The lineup consisted of Johnny Ronci, Humblebee, Broken Ground, Nevermind: A Nirvana Tribute, and The Law. Read the rest of this entry »

The Scene – April 25th, Heading Back to The Wheelhouse

View of the Bay from The Wheelhouse's smokers deck
April 25th I made my way down to Narragansett towards The Wheelhouse for Funkatronic, The Choos and the eagerly anticipated return to the stage of The Law. I arrived early and snagged a parking spot practically in front of the venue, with plenty of time to catch up with my cousin Katie at the bar. As Funkatronic was sound checking we ordered a round and caught up a bit. Apparently she and Brendon (Low B) had spent the day before in New York and didn’t arrive back until 5am, leaving them both about 4 hours of sleep with which to function, ouch. Earlier that day I had been at Zig Zag’s grilling and checking out band practice, but the aroma of freshly fried potatoes and malt vinegar filled the air, awakening the sleeping giant that is my appetite. I was doing fine suppressing the beast with a $1 Coors Light (not my normal choice but can’t beat a buck), until the gentleman to my right Bob received a platter of chicken fingers and french fries. I sarcastically accosted him “Do you know what you’ve done?!?!” for furthering my appetite and proclaimed I must now order my own basket of fries to satiate the beast within.
