Sunday 19th January 2014
the lineup for the Sunday 19th January Show is amazing and diverse. this show will also be at the Parlour in Providence and will feature sets by bands that the ‘Mericans covered for their new album ‘A Tribute to Providence. besides the Purple Ivy Shadows Reunion, the 1990s beloved indie pop band the Nonpareils will also be reuniting for this show! Allysen Callery will be playing a set too. The Low Anthem were covered on ‘A Tribute . . .’ but they declined our invitation to play this show, so we’ve booked Arc Iris instead! a while back, Jocie Adams left the Low Anthem to pursue her own music, and Arc Iris is it – and it’s excellent. initially it was going to be Pete Donnelly representing the Figgs for this, but now all the Figgs are playing! Pete mixed and mastered ‘A Tribute to Providence’ (and 2 other ‘Mericans albums!) and not only do we love his work on our records, but also his own songs as well. in 2012 we were treated to reunions of ’90s indie legends Small Factory and Honeybunch, and while we would’ve loved it if Small Factory could join us for this show, we couldn’t make that happen – but Honeybunch is playing, and they’re always a treat to see! and then there’s Purple Ivy Shadows who haven’t played together since 2002. there would be no the ‘Mericans if not for Purple Ivy Shadows – ‘Mericans singer / guitarist Chris Daltry moved to Providence in 1993 with his old band PIS and has stayed here ever since. also note that Purple Ivy drummer Frank Mullin will be playing with the Nonpareils too. representing Scarce will be a great new band called Reindeer which is made up of 3/4 of Scarce and fronted by Seana Carmody who used to be in The Swirlies back in the ’90s. they’re great and you can hear them here. and last but not least is the Brother Kite who’s new album ‘Model Rocket’ is incredible.
