DNA’S EVOLUTION / BIG RAV / RAMRODZZ

  • Myrtle 134 Waterman Avenue East Providence, RI, 02914 United States (map)

DNA'S EVOLUTION is a 2-piece, high-energy, original, prog-punk-psychedelic-rock band from southern Massachusetts featuring Adam Cardoza on drums and Derek Reckard on guitars. They have been writing and gigging together for two decades. What began as creative therapy in 2003, has become a potent live and clever force in New England. Known as a band that "brings the eclectic to the yard" and innovative gear-nerd live adventure experience, DnA's Evolution continues to be able to fit into any lineup, with their endless influences and styles, not to mention stunts.

Maddy, Dan, Séamus, and Nick have been playing music together as Big Rav for over 6 years. Before they got together, Nick and Séamus – childhood friends – had been holding down the rhythm section of their first band, “The Kids”, for the better part of a decade. The Kids were well known in the Rhode Island pub circuit, and booked long cover sets at events like St. Mary’s Feast until they all went to college and disbanded. There, the rest of the Ravs all met through luck – Nick met Maddy by accidentally going to the wrong class, Dan and him became roommates through a mutual friend, and the pair moved in with Séamus the next year. Engineers and an accountant by day, the 4 of them survived college by jamming together, and now write and play music together outside of (and sometimes during) the workday. Sitting somewhere at the intersection of alt, punk, and indie rock (with some prog rock sprinkled in), Big Rav is a high energy, lively band who just wants to have fun commiserating with other sorta-adults trying to make it to the weekend.

RAMRODZZ is a two-piece band from Providence, RI that makes pop, hip hop and rock music for the modern age...and for the future. Their many independent releases are available on all streaming platforms, including the hit singles "Olly Oxen Free" and "Jim Belushi Meet & Greet." RAMRODZZ always fulfills their obligation to bring a high energy, low-IQ performance to audiences everywhere.
