Tonight Mohawk Place and The Good Neighborhood present a tribute show to the Sam Roberts' Band, featuring Buffalo bands The Albrights, Troop 556, and friends of the blog the Tins, all of which will be covering at least one song from Sam Roberts'. As a way to psyche Buffalo for the Montreal rocker's performance at Artpark (that the Tins will be opening for), The Good Neighborhood has set up this little pre-Artpark fiesta. Buffalo has a unique tie to Canadian music due to our shared broadcast are with Toronto, and our closeness to the border allows most Canadian bands to build their followings from the ground up. Bands like The Tragically Hip, Lowest of the Low, and even newer groups, such as Billy Talent or Fucked Up, always find a way to build followings in New York's Queen City. SRB has been one of the illustrious bands to be asked to play consecutive nights at the Town Ballroom, has played Thursday At The Square, and even played at the inaugural Ice Bowl held at the Ralph a few years back. There also will be a raffle of a SRB sent gift pack to support the Buffalo Mission's shelter the Cornerstone Manor. SRB will be playing in Baltimore tonight, so there won't be any surprise appearances, but this is definitely a great way to get yourself in the mood for tomorrow's must-see event at Artpark. The show starts around 9pm, and it'll cost $5 (American) to get in the door.
