It's a busy night for music fans in WNY, with Night 2 of The Mohawk's Last Waltz, the Joywave show with Love Scenes at Duke's, and an hour to the east at the Water Street Music Hall in Rochester, the return of Father John Misty. The stage name of former Fleet Foxes drummer Josh Tillman, FJM made a big splash last summer when they opened for Youth Lagoon at the Town Ballroom and stole the show with a rowdy set that tore through their 2012 debut album, Fear Fun, (not Tillman' first album, but his first as Father John Misty, an entirely new entity) and showcased Tillman's impressive talents as an zealously charismatic frontman. To be fair, Youth Lagoon's set was great, evocative and beautifully reverb drenched, but Father John Misty just got the crowd too riled up with their potent 70's AM radio rock for anybody to adequately follow them, and Youth Lagoon ended up getting the short end of the stick. Tonight however, Father John Misty is headlining with San Francisco's Magic Trick providing opening support, and after a dizzying breakthrough in 2012, anticipation is high. Tickets are $17 and doors open at 7 PM.
