Photos of Santa Mamba at WBRU Dunkin Donuts Summer Concert Series Show
On a wonderful summer night, Santa Mamba entered out hearts with a soulful, latin-inspired set and encouraging words between songs. Dancing was the activity of the night, but it was just as nice to sit on the grass and bob your head a little bit. Santa Mamba undoubtedly put their all into their set and [...]

Indie-rockers Fanfarlo put smiles on faces for first WBRU Dunkin’ Donuts Free Summer Concert Series Show
English band Fanfarlo has been spinning on WBRU for a number of weeks now, but the Providence crowd was still taken by the fresh-sounding melodies of the quirky indie rock band last Friday night at the first WBRU Dunkin’ Donuts Free Summer Concert Series Show of the summer.

As far as concerts go, I think whether one is left feeling that a show is satisfying or not depends first on the attitude he or she goes into the venue with in the first place. Clearly, a sold-out crowd for Third Eye Blind and openers Alpha Rev at Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel last Tuesday night [...]
Photos of Julian Casablancas at Lupo’s, 3/23
This was quite possibly the most difficult concert I’ve ever had to take photos at. The rules for concert photographers typically are twofold: (1) you can only take photos during the first three songs, and (2) no flash. Well, the latter rule killed me at this show – Julian decided to play in almost complete [...]
Dashboard Confessional Perk Up Lupo’s, Have Stolen My Heart
As someone who has been to a decent number of concerts, any band that I’ve thought of as less than stellar who really impresses me is always a great joy, almost better than a band I’ve adored from the get-go. Now, I’ve always liked Dashboard Confessional, but was admittedly a bit skeptical of the band’s [...]
Punk rock veterans Alkaline Trio in full stride at Lupo‘s
Chicago-based punk threesome Alkaline Trio have seen much throughout the years (it’s no secret that much of the band’s grungy-punk music revolves around dark themes such as addiction, depression, arson, and love, to name a few) and were no strangers to a crowded, energized Lupo’s audience. These guys – guitarist Matt Skiba, bassist Dan Andriano, [...]
