Editors' Picks
The Figgs — Pete Donnelly, Mike Gent, and Pete Hayes — released their first cassette (remember those?) 20 years ago, five years after they formed in high school as Sonic Undertones. They’ve released a slew of great discs (including one on Capitol in 1996), have worked as Graham Parker’s backing band and, best of all, still hit the road every now and then (they were terrific opening for the Hold Steady at the Met a few years ago). Call it power pop, call it rock and roll, but you’ll call it a great night out when they get revved up (and watch out for Hayes when he clambers over his kit). The ’Mericans, whose So Late It Hurts is still in regular rotation ’round here, share the bill at Speakeasy at Local 121, 121 Washington Street, Providence. Here’s a solid mix-and-match plan: hit the first coupla hours of the Funkadelic experience, then cross Mathewson for a different kind of instant party at 10:30 pm | $10 | 401.274.2121 | local121.com
