Earlier this year, singer/songwriter Eric Tepe released the EP 'Singapore' (under the name Eric Matthew Tepe and the Reeds) that showcased his impressive songwriting and an AltPop sound strong enough to garner industry attention. Saturday he and his top-shelf backing group (now called the Eric Tepe Band) celebrate the release of another new EP, this one even more accessible and radio-ready.  

In 2008, local independent publisher Aurore Press presented a "reunion" concert at the Southgate House that featured bands (and many fans) who were a part of the scene at famed Punk Rock palace/dump The Jockey Club in Newport. This Saturday at the Southgate, it returns for the third year straight, featuring reunion shows by Sluggo, The Speed Hickeys and other local music vets.
