Bunch your foil! The Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation (RIRRC) has redesigned and updated its website making it easier to use. So what goes in your bin? Today’s lesson: Metal Cans — Lids — Foil That’s it—no other metal. For example, a metal frying pan is not a can, lid, or foil, so it doesn’t …

This family friendly event combines the sights and sounds of industry …

Is it wrong that I kind of like this thing? It’s temporary, so let’s just think of it as an installation. Sims Metal Management moved in last fall and well . . . you know how things accumulate after Labor Day (thank you Grey Gardens). Sims is in the process of dredging the harbor so …

Look at this line-up. Armageddon Records presents, Devastating duo Black Cobra comprises drummer Rafa Martinez (ex-16, ex-Acid King) and guitarist/vocalist Jason Landrian (ex-Cavity). Black Cobra catapulted themselves onto the scene in 2001 with their ravenous, upbeat and ultimately unique style of punk/hardcore-fueled sludge metal. “At their fastest, Zoroaster could pass for half-speed Motorhead. At their …
A special mention for tonight’s show (Sunday June 26) at AS220 featuring the Assembly of Light Choir started by local music notable Chrissy Wolpert. The tour was recently brought to my attention by choir member Jaime Lowe, a photographer currently living in New York City whose work has been featured on these pages. Her unique …
This was a hard act to follow. I should know. . . I had to follow it. First, big thanks to Chris and Patrick et al. from the URI chapter of Students for Sensible Drug Policy, and dj/producer Reza Clifton and the team over at WRIU for taking such great care of us yesterday. I …
I meant to post this earlier but there is still plenty of time to register for the spring and summer courses at the Steel Yard. Learn ceramics, glass casting, stained glass, jewelry, welding, or perhaps metalsmithing with Lu Heintz who makes gorgeous stuff in many categories (including the very cool window grate at B Sharp …
For those of you who saw the movie Anvil! The Story of Anvil and thought, “Well maybe this movie will help.” It did. Anvil will be opening for AC/DC, July 28th at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. They must be so excited.
Well, to the degree that someone who has just written about a BeeGees tribute band has any credibility left, I would like to direct your attention to a band doing some very original cool stuff. As mentioned above ¡Cowgirl! will be part of the line-up for the Dark Lady Extravaganza scheduled for tonight. (What is …
[youtube]dhgjEObtrWE[/youtube] For me anyway. Tragedy All Metal Tribute to the BeeGees, will be playing the Showcase Live in Foxboro on April 2nd. This venue might not be totally horrible as it is standing room only/general admission like a regular club. BUT, here’s the awesomest thing, Brendon Small of Dethklok will also be performing with the …
I’m way behind the curve on this one, but that’s okay. Discovering an awesome ‘new’ band is like finding money. The above mentioned Witch — current project of Dinosaur Jr. guitarist J Mascis, now on drums — released their second cd Paralyzed over a year ago, and nobody told me nothin’. Fortunately, Witch is in …
