Local Artist Vocalist/songwriter starting femme punk band!

Upvotes

Hello Prov! This is a bit of a shot in the dark here but here we go:

I'm a singer/songwriter and amateurish guitarist (currently fronting a tamer, shoegazey band) that wants to put together a punk band with a Riot Grrrl kind of vibe to it, MINUS the exclusivity, racism and transphobia, fuck that.

Times are wack (nothing new), and I'd really like to collab with anyone who's got something to say or play in a big way to bring people together. Ideally looking for lead guitarist, bassist, and drummer, that want to put some high-energy music together that people can go a little nuts to. But really, open to anyone who's excited to use music to say some real shit and have some fun while doing it. It would be pretty sick to play some crusty, unofficial basements this summer.

Biggest influences I can think of are anything Kathleen Hannah (Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, Julie Ruin), Sleater-Kinney, Destroy Boys, Girlpool, Big Joanie, Pinkshift, Manequin Pussy, Lambrini Girls, Palehound, Mommy Long Legs, Little Baby Tendencies, and so on and so forth!! The sky is the limit here.

If any of this has you even considering replying or sending me a DM, fucking do it!! If not, that's ok!! You're the realest for reading this through.

Seriously though if you're pissed at the world and wanna do something creative with it, then let's fucking go.

Food Track 15- it’s fine

53 Upvotes

I got around to finally trying Track 15 this weekend and… it’s fine. Pretty good, I’d say. A lot of what I predicted turned out to be accurate (in terms of pricing), and it accomplishes exactly what it sets out to be- nothing more, nothing less. But I also don’t think it’s really going to usher in a new era of downtown Providence like how it was discussed prior to opening.

The space itself is fine, a bit monotone and cliche with the faux industrial aesthetic, and could have been themed a tad better. All of the stalls feel homogeneous and lack any unique decor or anything that sets each stall apart, which is the case for most food halls. The food itself is very good and solid, but most of the vendors are already locations that exist within Providence and RI.

Shockingly, for peak weekend hours when I visited, it was surprisingly barren. Barely any lines for anything, and zero crowding at the bar. Only having drinks available at a centralized bar is certainly… a choice. Overall, it’s a pretty good new addition to downtown Providence… but it’s certainly not rocking the boat, and isn’t mind blowing by means. At the end of the day, what downtown Providence really needs is more amenities and housing if it’s truly going to grow.

To the beautiful goth girl that I met near The Nitro Bar

78 Upvotes

Hi reddit, I need your help! My name is Lia and I need help finding a girl I interacted with today at the Nitro Bar!

For context: I went to the Nitro Bar at around 2ish today. I got out of my car to walk to the shop and saw a beautiful goth girl (I'm also VERY goth especially today with my outfit haha) walking towards me and she smiled. I smiled back and she said "you're so pretty." As one does, I completely FUMBLED and just said "omg thank you so much, you too!" 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️IT needs to be known that I said it in the STRAIGHTEST WAY POSSIBLE (I'm a super lesbian but I panicked okay? Leave me alone 😂) We both kept walking opposite directions and as I got to the door to Nitro I turned but she was already getting in her car.

Now, should I have said "wait" and run over to give her my number? Yes of course. Did I? No of course not, cause why would I do the smart thing? My brain shit itself and now I'm left in anguish at probably never finding this woman again and never getting the chance to go on a date with her 😭

I digress. I need your help to find her! If you or someone you know is a woman/enby, about 25ish, shorter maybe 5'3-5'5, long black hair, lots of facial piercings (septum and lip at least from what I can recall), was wearing a black crop top and black leggings? Pants? Idk but you looked really dope lol and got coffee today at the Nitro Bar on Broadway, oh and you drive a white car (either a honda, hyundai, or toyota) ((btw I was the black ford fusion parked in front of you with cool stickers on the back one of a snake and the other a family or ducks)) please please please DM me

Sincerely, the goth enby that you called pretty who was wearing a long black coat that basically has a cape attached and red and black hair named Lia 🖤🖤

Reddit, do your thing! Please and thank you!

Recommendations 3rd spaces or clubs

10 Upvotes

With all the chaos in the world right now, I’m needing some activities to meet others and get away from doom scrolling.

Any recommendations on sports, groups, meetups or clubs in the area?

If we’re talking about specifics - 32F looking for outdoor activities (trying to get in better shape so beginner friendly is appreciated), artist/art activities, volunteering, sports or sport clubs/leagues (again beginner friendly).

Wayland Neighbors! Please keep an eye out for this missing kitty!

Mister Hunky aka Moose came to my porch on Friday. His owners contacted me Sunday morning and are worried sick. He needs injections to his back leg and the owners are worried Moose is in pain without them. He is an indoor cat and very much loved and missed.

He was last seen Friday April 4 at 3pm near Lloyd and Arlington

Moose's owner is named Kathy. I don't want to give her number out on the internet so please text me at (512) 765-5373‬ if you see him!
