Q: What's the deal with blowing up roadies? Can I be your roadie?
A: The legend of the exploding speedway roadie has it's own page here. If you still want to be our roadie, all we require is a strong back, a weak mind, and good insurance coverage. We go through roadies like Spinal Tap goes through drummers...
Q: Providence rocks where have you been all my life???
A: When not actually onstage performing, we hide from the public eye by assuming clever secret identities: Bas plays at being a mild-mannered computer programmer, Bob as a mild-mannered construction/maintenance worker, and Ben conceals himself as a mild-mannered liquor salesman.*
Q: Saw you at the beer gardens at victory lane years ago. your drummer is psycho. how'd he learn to do that?
A: We actually had to implant electrodes to the pleasure center of his brain, that were triggered by loud noises like drumbeats- the more he hits the drums, the better he feels. The only problem being the constant orgasming he has to endure during heavy thunderstorms...
Q: Why is there a Providence website when there is no band called Providence anymore?
A: The website was started for the reunion show in August 2002. Bas & Bob decided to put the project back together with a new drummer. Then the old drummer came back, and all hell broke loose.
Q: Where is my sweet spot?
A: In the dining room, top shelf of the china hutch, on the left behind the Star Wars collector mugs.
Q: Why won't Ben rejoin Providence? :-(
A: He did.
Q: Why do you guys always play Rush tunes?
A: We're Rush nuts. Sue us. Between us, we know pretty much everything they've released up to [and including] 'Hold Your Fire,' and about half the stuff after that. We've tossed around the idea of throwing '2112' into a set, but haven't done it... yet.
Q: What is your logo supposed to be? It looks like a rocket or something.
A: It's supposed to be a logo.
Q: Why did you name the band 'Providence?'
A: It was Ben's idea, after a King Crimson tune of the same name first performed in a city of the same name, and a nod to H. P. Lovecraft.
Q: Are you guys jammin' anywhere these daze?
A: Not really. We're busy in the studio. But wave some pizza, beer and gas money in our noses, and we'll talk.
Q: u suk!! y dont u just give up!
A:Because we're too stupid to know when to give up. We're also not sure when to come in out of the rain, and we have trouble walking and chewing bubblegum at the same time. On the bright side, we're not semi-illiterate morons too ignorant and narrow-minded to realize that our opinions aren't laws of nature.
