The Royalty play their last-ever shows this week – Sunday night, 7/25 at The House of Blues Restaurant, and Friday, July 30 at Providence’s AS220. Conveniently, Sunday’s House of Blues show is free. So take that extra cash to the bar and join the fun, as they may well be cruising towards a club ban. Just kidding. Probably.
If you haven’t seen them yet and you’re a fan of low-fi indie rock a la Pavement with a predilection for feedback (lots of it), incisive lyrics, sarcastic humor, heckling and cheap beer, then you owe it to yourself to make one if not both of these dates. They also have an EP you should probably ask them about, featuring a great cover of Pavement’s "Grounded."
