Is it me or is there a great concert being announced on a daily basis lately?  Is Buffalo all of a sudden becoming a hot spot for great bands to include on their tours?  Over the past couple weeks, tUnE-yArDs, the Hip, the New Pornographers, and Death Cab for Cutie(again) all announced they will be playing in or near the Buffalo area, quickly filling up the spring and summer calendar for any die hard music fan.  Let's not jump the gun though, its only March, but man is it a good month for live shows.   With the weather soon, at least we can hope, breaking for spring later this month, Buffalo is all of a sudden becoming a upbeat place again because we all know that as the weather turns, generally do the spirits of us Buffalonians as well.  So get your daily planner ready and give a read to what March can do for your live music fix.
