First, we got turned onto the Vegetable Orchestra. Then, we found that Chicks on Speed – We Don’t Play Guitar. But we just knew these Chicks on Speed were like-minded artists. Turns out, we were right. Check out the Chicks with Shoes! Remember – if you like Chicks with Guitars, like our ... Share on Facebook
Chicks On Speed present the song We Don’t Play Guitars. It’s deliciously weird. YouTube video isn’t able to be imbedded, so just click here to see some groovy chicks prove they can be groovy without 6 strings- they only need Duck Tape and black light. And you should know more about these expressionistic artists ... Share on Facebook
I’m a winner! Or, at least I was last Friday – I entered a contest by posting to The Providence Phoenix’s facebook wall and won “Fan Of The Week” – and my prize was a free ticket to the 2011 kick-off of Music Fridays at the RISD Museum.

Sorry for the misleading headline. I’m only implying that the music industry is medieval to get your attention and tell you: if you haven’t been to the Medieval Festival in Ft. Tyron Park in the Bronx, NY, you are seriously missing out. Music, magic and dueling. Knights in shining armor. Is there anything better? I’d ... Share on Facebook

Marching band inspired mosh pit on a Monday in Providence, RI. Mosh pit is an exaggeration, but it was an exciting, intimate , group musical frenzy. There weren’t any guitars. But this was expressive. This 18 piece co-ed brass ensemble has players who are masters of their instruments, composing addicting rhythms and delivering it all ... Share on Facebook
Sadly, no. Coney Island, NY, June 2010. Was hoping to see at least one Mermaid With Guitar at the Mermaid Parade… but none were spotted. But plenty of dancers making guitar-face! And many costume thematics around mermaids covered in oil. A great, crazy day for self-expression. And this year’s King Neptune and Queen Mermaid were ... Share on Facebook
I love how well she can cast a bull-figher-themed video; I love how if you close your eyes you’d...
