Week Of Monday July 1st, 2002
As far as things are in this city..
It could go either way.
What I mean by this is that there's two camps around town these days:
The first being the retro-rock genre scene.It's all about the past in
the least intersting sense..It's a scene that rejects experimenting in
all it's forms - intentionally void and bereft of any and all imagination
and progress.
It IS howvwer, a very safe place to be. If all your friends are in Joe-Rock
bands and involve themselves in music styles that are as bland as a bag
of walnuts, then atleast you'll have a pre-formed social scene to connect
with. One filled with other people like themselves - not very passionate
about creating music - who may also be there mainly for the same dim and
familiar social hanger-ons.
Now the other crowd is a different kettle of fish altogether...
This is a growing scene of musician's open to cutting edge conceptualism
and anything and everything that's new..That's cutting edge. It's a crowd
that embraces noise, electronics, guitar EXPERIMENTATION! (not just punk
chords) as well as vivid and intangible intense sound. There are as many
(from what I can tell) of these bands , as there are of the aforementioned
walnut-eating set.
But bear in mind, the joe-rockers generate no excitement - and therefore
leave the door WIDE OPEN for change and .....The future.
The Time is now.
Or else fall into a thousand years of Rockabilly and Ska fueled darkness.

Welcome to VESTED RETAIL The purpose is to create a window
by which cutting-edge Providence/RI area musicians can view each other's
work and fostering a real scene here.
