Summer is for lovers. It's also for tasty pop punk jams. Something about the warm air and uber melodic lickage. They just go together. Don't question. Just accept.

Tonight, Gainesville, Florida's Dikembe will join two of Buffalo's more popular melodic punk/indie acts, I Can See Mountains and Real People, at Mother Mary's, located at 427 Hoyt St. This is an old-fashioned house show so be respectful of the neighbors and the house, and please get there on time. Set times are firm. The show starts at 7 and is $6-$8. It's Saturday, the sun is shining, and the volume will be cranked to 11. Life is good.
