Lupo’s & The Met 50th Anniversary Kickoff with LIGHTNING BOLT

Lightning Bolt play with abandon that is unmatched and remarkably undiluted since the duo’s formation 25 years ago. They are often called one of the loudest rock outfits in existence, both on record and on (or famously, oB) the stage. Brian Gibson creates sounds that are unexpected and remarkably varied with his virtuosic bass playing and his inventive approach to the instrument, centered around melody rather than rhythm. The dizzying fury of Brian Chippendale’s drums twist from primal patterns into disorienting break beats as his distorted, looped, and echoing vocals weave more melody into the mayhem. Amidst the fray there has always been shreds of a pop songs discernible in the eye of every Lightning Bolt song. For their seventh full length, Sonic Citadel, Gibson and Chippendale have done the daring, stripping away some of the distortion mask to reveal the naked pop forms as never before. Their relentless energy, inventiveness and, unrestrained joy still drive their songs, pulling you in and compelling you to bounce and yes, even sing along.

The Return Of the AMAZING ROYAL CROWNS

A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will go to the National Kidney Foundation.The National Kidney Foundation is revolutionizing the fight to save lives by eliminating preventable kidney disease, accelerating innovation for the dignity of the patient experience, and dismantling structural inequities in kidney care, dialysis, and transplantation. https://www.kidney.org   About the Crowns Equal parts Rockabilly, Punk Rock, and Rock N Roll, the Crowns exploded onto an unsuspecting Rhode Island scene in late 1993 and wasted no time in hitting the road with their raw, hyper-kinetic sing-alongs and their explosive live show. The self-described punkabilly band toured the world for the next 8 years. The Crowns often shared the stage with label mates Social Distortion & Reverend Horton Heat, as well as other artists like The Cramps, X, Tiger Army, Hank III, The Damned, The Specials, Dropkick Murphys, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Supersuckers, Rocket From The Crypt, The Misfits, and many more.   Throughout their career, The Crowns released multiple singles, EPs, and 3 full-length albums. They have recorded music on various labels (Sub Pop, Time Bomb, and BMG to name a few) and have toured the world numerous times. They’ve endured lawsuits, broken bones, accidents, and band fights all in the name of blood, sweat & grease, and they haven’t regretted a second of any of it. The Crowns are playing their first headlining show in New England since 2001, and they’re bringing back their annual Providence Payback festival at the same time! The Payback fest was a yearly event that the band would host at Lupo’s and the Met as a thank you to, and a party for their fans. The fest ran from 1996-2001 and featured many national and local bands. Always a fun time, expect to see various genres of music and maybe some surprises!
