Shit. So I was pretty bummed out when I heard that Plates was calling it quits. I've seen them numerous times over the years and always thought they had a unique approach to music; punk, post-punk, hardcore, whatever you want to call it, Plates was a different beast altogether. Part Wire, Part Black Flag, Part Negative Approach (watch the way frontman Teo handles a stage and you'll understand why I say that), their aggressive, uneasy sound was always captivating and I always felt they were one of the best bands milling around Buffalo. Tonight they call it a day.
And apparently so do Beardage(?!?!). Shit again.
Tracy Morrow and Magi Chippie and the Afterbirth Tycoon will be opening this four band bill, at the Vault ($5, 7pm). Come out, dance a bit, and pay your respects. I expect things to get a bit weird.
