Flobots take on Providence

1:54PM ON 08/08/2008
BY Dave Segal

From Matt.  We’re pretty psyched to have Jamie back around for the weekend:

If you didn’t read my story in this week’s Phoenix, here’s the gist.  The Flobots - who have Rhody roots - have burst onto the music scene with their live band, hip hop and politically charged lyrics.  Here’s their schedule in Providence tonight:

FRIDAY: The Flobots (with Gogol Bordello) at Lupo’s.  Doors open at 8pm.  Tickes are $20 and can be purchased here.

SATURDAY: Flobots lead emcee, Jonny 5, will host a “Fight With Tools” event on at 3pm at the Open Table of Christ church at 1520 Broad St. in Providence. It will feature a solo performance by Jonny 5 and a discussion about Providence activism and the Fight With Tools street teams.
