Reply to comment by ananda_yogi in Where in Providence can I casually have a drink and listen to some live music? by Megasoulflower

Oh man, I meant to go this summer but never made it! Thank you for the reminder! (:

Edit: I guess I was a little iffy about the idea of going to a show in a parking lot beside a fairly busy roadway too! Is it really pretty cool?

Very cool indeed! The parking lot behind scurvy is pretty large and the bands are set up a considerable distance from the road, so no real element of danger there. Also since they rerouted rt 10 there is a lot less traffic on westminster. Plenty of parking at the school across the street, and on various side roads.

The bands can get a little wild (last one I went to ended with a firey display atop a van) but they are always so much fun. I don't look like the typical patron of scurvy dog, but I find the punk rock and metal crowd to be more welcoming than any other. I live around the corner and I'm moving next summer, and scurvy shows will absolutely be the thing I'll miss most

I'm trans and have felt more welcome at Scurvy than any of the expressly gay bars and stuff here. Parking lot shows are always a fucking blast even if they do get a little rowdy. Dusk is another place I've quickly fallen in love with for some of the same reasons and love catching live metal bands and such there.
