Despite my coverage of their act on the ‘Bout Damn Time Tour earlier this year, I decided to check out local Emerald City boys, This Providence. Hailing from Bothell, just a short distance away from the Center, the band looked right at home on the Center Square Stage.
These guys are always amazing live- that never changes. Unfortunately, neither does their show. It was great for long time fans to catch them playing favorites such as “My Beautiful Rescue” and “That Girl’s a Trick,” but also brought a lot of murmuring and dissent from the same group of fans. These were songs that were recorded YEARS ago and were just rereleased as remastered tracks on the Who Are You Now? album in 2009. However, everyone is asking for new material, a new show, something besides bassist David Blaise just cutting his hair.
I’m not saying that these guys did not put on one hell of a show- because that would be downright lying. They are a great group of musicians, a great group to see live, and play some damn amazing music. But frankly, at this point, if you have seen them once, you have seen them. Period.
Keep your eyes peeled for a new single, album, or other news here at PopWreckoning.
