Buffalo has a rich history of influential hardcore bands, from Zero Tolerance and Slugfest to Buried Alive and more recently, Every Time I Die. Perhaps the most famous of the bunch is Snapcase, one of the bigger Victory Records acts during Victory's heyday.

Snapcase was always something a bit more than hardcore:  a fusion of heavy music, heavy ideas, and unique enough to represent a sound you could only call its own. When they called it quits a few years back, more than a few tears were shed.

Since that time, the band has played a number of reunion shows, including the excellent opening slot for Dropkick Murphys at the harbor this past summer. Snapcase continues in that tradition tonight and Sunday celebrating (and honoring) Buffalo's soon to be closed Mohawk Place (7pm, $21). It's befitting that a band that represents Buffalo so well will be playing one of the last shows at Buffalo's best venue. Openers tonight include our very own Young Suns and Chae Hawk and Sunday night you can expect some very special guests.

Unfortunately tonight's show is sold out, but there are still a few tickets left for Sunday's show. Seeing as how both nights of the Last Waltz are now sold out, this is your LAST opportunity to see a show at Mohawk if you didn't get tickets to those events. Make this one count. Pay your respects to a great band a great place.
