I have played this place like three times in Ascendancy and it is a cool venue and good food, beers and people and cool to hang out. Not a bad sound and stage... go for it.!
yeah im playing one of the b-sharps nights there in april. i always love playing that place. the sound guy actually knows what he's doing but dont play any covers there...
as220 is a great place to play for many reasons .
#1 you get good traffic from their already present customers .
#2 reasonable drink prices
#3 decent and resonable food
#4 good sound / good size stage
#5 any band can play there ( except cover bands -no covers allowed )
#6 the staff is great there .
we are ( GraveSideService ) are playing there on march 15th . anxiously anticipating our return to AS 220
Providence is weird like that, So rare to see crowds go nuts unless Dropdead is playing.

That's not what I meant, god damn I'm being misinterpreted a lot today.
People were singing along and dancing and what not, I meant I don't think anybody in the staff had a problem with it. I never heard anything. Shred the Past also definitely played AS220 since then.
Also, people always go crazy for Third Death, guaranteed.
as220 is a state funded establishment funded by some grant for the "arts" . one of the stipulations in the contract to play states , "no covers " all original music must be played . i'm sure bands sneak in covers and the staff isn't able to play name that tune perfectly . we covered the theme to the movie phantasm last time we were there and no one said anything .
oh ok so instead of three years its only been two.

HI BILLY MAYS HEAR WITH SEVERAL REASONS YOU SHOULD AVOID AS200. BUY A BIG CITY SLIDER YOU FAG.
THEY FUNNEL CAPITAL TO THE ISRAELI LOBBY
THEY HANG SHITTY ARTWORK ON THE WALL THEY STOLE FROM SOME BLIND DRUNKIN JEW.
YOU NEVER HAVE TO FLIP USING MY BIG CITY SLIDER. SOME AS200 ARTFAG WILL FLIP THEIR SHIT IF YOU PLAY THE THEME FROM MANIMAL OR PUNKY BREWSTER.
THE BURNT-ON CHEESE ON THE FLOOR. ID CLEAN IT UP WITH MY BEARD BUT YOURE ALL KIKES. SO FUCK YOU AND THE GREATER ART COMMUNITY. FAGS.
WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH MY BIG CITY SLIDER, CLEANUP IS A BREEZE. CLEANUP AT AS220 INVOLVES SCRAPING THE REMAINS OF INEBRIATED CRACKER ARTFAGS OFF THE SIDEWALK.
YOU CANT ORDER A BILLY MAYS MEGA-BACON BURGER AT AS220 (FUCK YOU BACONATOR). YOURE LIMITED TO FUCKING GAY CHOICES LIKE LENTILS, AND SHIT MEXICAN LAGER THATS NOT CORONA AND/OR BILLY (MAYS) BEER.
