I Love the 90's
The “I Love the 90’s” tour stops off tonight at Foxwoods with all your favorite 90’s stars … and then some. With an emphasis on rap, hip-hop and R&B, performers includes Vanilla Ice, Salt-n-Pepa, Color Me Badd, Coolio, and many others.

House on the Rise Tour
House on Cliff is a Boston rock band formed in 2013. Over the past couple of years, they’ve toured the USA and Europe and Sunday night they’ll be at Fete in Providence. They’ll be joined by The Rise of the Broken, another up and coming pop/rock band. Doors at 7PM, tickets 10 in advance, $12 at the door.
Tashi Dorji at MWM
Machine’s with Magnets in Pawtucket is part recording studio, part live performance space. Sunday night, they’ve got a very cool show with several bands including Bhutanese born guitarist Tashi Dorji, Marisa Anderson, Horse Lords and Wind & Ghosts. Pitchfork called Dorji and Anderson’s recent release, one of the best experimental albums of 2015. We agree. Check them out Sunday night beginning around 9PM.
